Try posting in r/bitcoin favoring larger blocks. Be as logical as you want. Try disagreeing with anything about the fee market, or saying something critical about core's approach. See if your comment disappears. Hint: it usually will. You might get downvoted, but in /btc you can say what you want. I have trouble believing that leaders that rely on censorship are good stewards for censhorship resistant currency. A good indication you don't have valid criticism is when your reasoning falls back to the reddit terms of service.

Why would my comment disappear? People in r/bitcoin have been excited about bigger blocks (Segregated Witness) for nearly two years. In r/btc, if you happen to have an opposing opinion you will be scolded, insulted, and more than likely put on some targeted harassment list [0].

  > been excited about bigger blocks (Segregated Witness) for nearly two years. Stop the Orwellian doublespeak There is a one-line constant that changes block-size. Segwit was a giant change that's a one-trick pony that core wanted for their own reasons. It hasn't been effective at reducing the backlog, and segwit transaction percentage is declining. Your doublespeak won't work here because no one censors comments that disagree.

    I think you're getting a little out of touch with reality here. It's verifiable, demonstrable, literally happening now that more transaction data is transmitted on the wire than previously. Also, it's pretty interesting how you completely avoid talking about the targeted harassment list of Core supporters I posted in my previous comment.

      > it's pretty interesting how you completely avoid talking about the targeted harassment list of Core supporters I posted in my previous comment. I don't think it is interesting at all. I have no idea what the subreddit you linked to r/TWHB is? In terms of the censorship, I have seen it first hand on my own comments and it irritated me, so that's why I complain about it. No idea about your whataboutism example, though.
