You can discuss it all you want. You can't promote it just as you can't promote Litecoin or any other different protocol and ledger. Basically the only thing you see on /r/bitcoin for the last 10 months is discussion on this issue, constantly. Yeah, people who say "Developer Joe blow is a fraud, download the superior Bitcoin classic" get their posts removed. That's moderation. (And it is moderation that actually didn't happen for many months before things got so out of control.) |

That's malarkey. Not a day goes by that Lightning Network isn't heavily promoted.
Lightning, for the uninitiated, is the "scaling solution" that's going to "fix" Bitcoin by completely turning the original protocol into a settlement layer for an entirely new, incomplete, untested, and full-of-holes payments network.
This complete rewrite of the Bitcoin protocol is being foisted on the community take-it-or-leave-it, but we can't discuss increasing the base protocol to even a modest 2MB, because "that would be promoting a different protocol and ledger."
I hope that non-redditors can appreciate the profound, biting irony in the situation for the BS it actually is.
