There's a disgusting gaslighting operation going on, coordinated by retardinal shitcoin scammers, seeding around several factual lies:
1) "Valid or expensive things can't be spam: spam is always free and protocol-level-invalid"
2) "Most Bitcoin developers have always been against using mempool filters to fight spam, Core never did it"
3) "Core's mempool filters are working as always intended, there never was an unintentional and unforeseen behavior of the datacarriersize parameter in tapscripts"
4) "The block-increase via witness-discount shipped with Segwit to appease big-blockers didn't end up incentivizing spam over real transactions"
5) "Mempool filters are anti-free-speech and anti-free market censorship, a precursor to OFAC compliant blocks"
6) "Mempool filters can be, contemporarily, totally ineffective in creating friction to spam AND ALSO extremely hurtful for fee prediction
7) "Ordinals and Wizards are not a typical and overt shitcoim grift (with negative effects on privacy and UX for Bitcoiners) but legit technical innovation for Bitcoin"

All lies. Absolute, clear, literal, evident, verifiable lies.

I'm skeptical of filters as a long-term sustainable solution for spam attacks, where the attacker is well-funded enough to bribe miners into behaving maliciously. I think the only structural and long-term solution can only be increasing economic density of L2s, to fight L1 censorship and spam with fee pressure. I believe covenant SFs in general and LNHance in particular would greatly help towards such goal. But I don't tolerate the above lies. And sadly the LNHance campaign is now deeply entangled with promoting them.
