There's no summary that I am aware of, but a nice trick is to go to https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ (against fork) and https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/ https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/ (pro fork), sort by most popular last week and read what they have to say in the stickies/FAQ. They are both biased, but if you read both accounts you can form your own opinion.
This is a good heuristic in general. Everyone has an agenda and it is very hard to find an unbiased source of anything, especially for contemporary news. It is often better to find sources where the bias is clear, as opposed to hidden. Then find the strongest contradictory argument and compare the two.
UPDATE: Parent asked for a summary, not a technical deep dive. Here it is from "/r/btc" (pro fork) POV: https://i.imgur.com/uJ9XE06.png https://i.imgur.com/uJ9XE06.png and from "/r/bitcoin" (against fork) POV: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6r05nm/megathread_on_august_1_2017_at_612pm_utc_block/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6r05nm/megathread_... Follow the mentioned links if you are interested to get into more details.
- xorcist 9y agoThe S/N ratio of Reddit is slightly above 4chan, I find it mostly an exercise in image macros and copy paste. No development takes palce there. If you are interested in the protocol and the software, I would recommend lurking the IRC channels and/or mailing list. There is drama there too, but it takes the form of rational arguments and walls of text.
