✨Conspiracy theory✨
Core wants to diversify client implementations.
1. Force a Core change through without consensus, alienating many users
2. Users protest by running modified Core
3. Modified Core dev discusses hard fork (or people pretend he does)
4. Knots users protest by moving to another modified Core or Knots
5. There are 3 competing node implementations
6. ???
7. Profit (ossification)
Note: This is unlikely true.

A flawed analogy. Node runners are not the general public, although it is a spectrum, so more like sub-station operator or lineman. Still a flawed analogy…
The key part is not the engineering (I’m tired of repeating this).
It’s more like a government which was previously serving the public but then began to serve corporate interests.

I don’t think you’re in on some grand conspiracy, but the fact you won’t consider (publicly at least) the issues that aren’t filter related is… 🤔
Is it that:
- You don’t want to risk your future Core contributions being rejected for not towing the line?
- You want to keep the argument centered on filters so it’s easy to dismiss Knots as stupid?
- You know something we don’t?
It doesn’t need to be that all Core devs are in on it. There’s enough concern just with Todd, Lopp and Citrea and the way it seems hastily forced through despite objections.
As I said before:

“Why are people so angry with the knots guys?”
They have tech-tunnel-vision. Evaluating purely on technical merits is a red herring.
The main driver to Knots (IMO) is not better tech. It is moving away from a perceived corruption of Core devs (right or wrong).
Who gives a fuck about the tech when corporate interference and back room deals are on the table as a possible scenario here?

And I guess that’s the disconnect. Regardless of how technically sound it is, people don’t like how it went down or how it looks. You CAN’T fix this with technical arguments or reason. It’s a public relations issue now.
Core, as a group would need to publicly accept responsibility and acknowledge how it was mishandled. Apologise for blocking discussion around issues that were raised and walk the policy back if they want to ‘convince’ Knots users to go back.
Focusing on the technical aspects just seems to create more division, as these threads demonstrate.

If Knots goes rogue, someone will fork and we’ll move to that.

There are non-technical reasons to run Knots:
- How this was handled by the core team
- Todd, “For the record, this pull-req wasn't my idea. I was asked to open it by an active Core dev because entities like Citrea are using unprunable outputs instead of OP_Return, due to the size limits.”
- Lopp, an investor in Citrea who apparently want to use a nerfed OP_RETURN
Even if well intentioned, the above make it a no-go. And having concerns dismissed or talking down to the dummies? Doubly so.
What else can a pleb do in protest than run Knots?

I asked Grok “Have any writers discussed how Rust’s adoption in Linux might compromise the project from a political or ideological perspective, particularly regarding “woke” influences, and how this could negatively impact Linux in the long term, beyond technical considerations?”
Grok: “Yes, several writers, bloggers, and commentators have criticized the adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel from a non-technical, political, or ideological angle, often portraying it as a vehicle for “woke” or progressive cultural shifts that could undermine Linux’s traditional ethos long-term by prioritizing identity politics, enforcing new codes of conduct, and sidelining established developers.
One prominent critique comes from software developer Felipe Contreras, who argues that the push for Rust reflects a deeper ideological clash: Rust advocates embody a prescriptive, progressive mindset—akin to “woke” tactics like renaming Git’s “master” branch for social reasons or weaponizing codes of conduct to police language (e.g., reacting to metaphors like “cancer” for Rust integration)—which contrasts with Linux’s pragmatic, live-and-let-live C developer culture, potentially leading to imposed top-down changes and cultural incompatibility that erodes the project’s bottom-up consensus. This view is echoed in follow-up discussions where Rust’s integration is seen as progressive arrogance, unwilling to adapt to Linux’s established ways, risking long-term division.
Tech journalist Bryan Lunduke has repeatedly framed Rust’s rise as politically motivated, suggesting efforts to rewrite core Linux tools in Rust (like sudo) aim to eliminate “undesirable” licenses like the GPL while installing new leadership aligned with cultural changes, such as stricter codes of conduct that force out “old language” programmers deemed insufficiently progressive. He also highlights the Rust Foundation’s trademark policies, which explicitly allow logo modifications for “community movements” like LGBTQIA+ Pride or Black Lives Matter but restrict others, positioning Rust as an overtly political tool that could infuse open-source projects like Linux with biased ideologies, alienating traditional contributors. In another piece, Lunduke satirically notes Linus Torvalds “threatening” to include Rust as punishment, underscoring perceived cultural overreach.
A YouTube video titled “The Rust Programming Language Is A Political Trojan Horse” explicitly calls Rust a means for “Marxists to subvert the establishment and overthrow institutions,” citing the Rust Core Team’s statements that “tech is and always will be political” and their support for Black Lives Matter as evidence of embedded “woke” agendas that could infiltrate projects like Linux, leading to long-term institutional capture. Similar sentiments appear in forum discussions, where commenters accuse the Rust community of injecting “woke identity politics” into kernel development, likening resistance to racism and warning that such advocates will cause “chaos and destruction” by making debates about social issues rather than code. One poster describes it as “religious bigotry,” implying dogmatic progressivism.
On social media and hacker forums, figures like Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies have claimed Rust is “compromised by a cabal of woke tards,” positioning its promotion in Linux (as the only non-C language allowed) as a potential plot to shift mission-critical code under ideologically aligned control. Others link Rust’s popularity to “millennial frailty” and the “woke movement,” criticizing concepts like language “safety” as softening traditional programming rigor, while noting broader FOSS infiltration by virtue signalers who selectively enforce standards to favor progressive groups. An older Rust user forum thread questions why the language takes political stances, reinforcing views that this could politicize ecosystems like Linux unnecessarily.
Overall, these critiques suggest that Rust’s integration risks long-term harm to Linux by fostering division, cultural gatekeeping, and a shift away from merit-based, apolitical development toward ideologically driven priorities.”
