We must remain nuanced when forming opinions about what is and is not acceptable behavior in the bitcoin space. It is critical to understand the differences in definitions and not blindly follow simple generalizations to either extreme.
quotingA lot of people are confused between censorship and filtering. If you think that enforcing rules is a censorship, everyrhing going to be a censorship. Even your node might censor VALID transactions. If you want to know details, search "standard transactios". So, it is meaningless to say some rules are censorships. We should clarify these terminology to avoid confusing. I have been being considered to distinguish this two things. Followings are my rough definition.

Censorship
Censorship is banning INDIVIDUALS such as truckers, the opposition party, and etc.
The OFAC sanction list is the exact example.

As we know, #Bitcoin is censorship resistance, even if someone try to censor individuals, they can avoid the censorships.
Filtering
Filtering is applying their own rules. That's it. Your node is configurable and configuring means change your own rules. Then, some transaction would be invalid(would not be relayed) on your node, but valid(would be relayed) on others. We don't say this "censorship".
I stand up for Luke Dashjr (npub1lh2…a9nk) even if I don't agree with everything from him.
