You want a short example of a not so technical issue ? that concern every bitcoiners ?
external pressure on devs.
I remind you this is a part of bitcoin purpose to stay independent from any pressure. this is possible because of 3 entities : nodes, miners, devs.
Miners are many, nodes are many, devs are few.
it is a weakness.
they can be attack, anyway possible, physically, financially, fake news to push a part of them out of the project. GIThub which is microsoft or other google mail are used. So it is easy to control code or "private email exchange" by these company. What would you do if tomorrow git close the repos for a shitty reason ?
It is a serious security issue here.
And why ?
Because everyone know their name, their email, their company, their job.
They are not anonymous anymore, pressure and attacks are easier.
miners are discreet, nodes owner are anonymous.
But most of devs are not.
So if you think this is only a technical problem, try to solve this with a only technical speech.
And this drama have put some light on this too.
All this noise is not useless. even if sometimes it can be boring.
And to end, for a real technical issue, it should be on git.
why does it come here publicly ?
because the answer didn't fit the question (just a simple ban close it).
And why would they fit it more outside git ?
It is not a question of noise here, if the answers was clear enough it would had stayed on git.
Now it is outside because it is a different vision and 2 sides that are fighting with everyone watching.
So each camp argue to grab more support.
If all devs (i really mean all) would stay with intellectual honesty they would have listed each problem and each solutions and pro/cons, and take a decision between devs. But the different vision means what you really want to have on the blockchain, and the decision also concern miners and nodes, not only technical devs.
Without the ban it would have stayed in one place, git.
Instead content are on youtube, post on X, notes here, and we lost interesting answers in the noise.
So it is easy to say every watcher here, just watch and shut up.
If the subject is here, it is because they have been a previous failed by "devs" (i'm not targeting one but all).
IMO the only way to stop the fire is to be clear, on one place.
Listing questions and solutions and who are pro or cons and why.
somethings like this (but for each concern) :

and you put link on post/notes/videos targeting it, while updating with new Q/A.
One place, more clear, less noise.
