    Reasons:

    1. Less DNS seeds we trust from devs less active right now, better for us especially people involved involved in misleading users
    2. 1 DNS seed removed from Core wont't be a big impact: No PR since Since 2019 or reviews. Reviews on privacy related PRs would have been useful but updates about privacy were only on Twitter for some reason, it doesn't help Bitcoin development and the activity in soft fork combines with misinformation doesn't looks good.

    If removing feels rude, there should be a process which I am not aware of. There was a recent question and I think new nodes can be exploited with DNS seeds: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/104923/

    NACK, I believe the motivation is irrelevant to @TheBlueMatt

    Can you specify which part is irrelevant?

    I think this kind of comes out of the blue. Unless it's broken, NACK on removing it. Matt might not be an active contributor to core but is still active in the space in general.

    AFAIK @TheBlueMatt is working full-time and actively on open source Bitcoin and Lightning development (bitcoin/bitcoin isn't the only relevant repository to that).

    I never said about what kind of dev and incentives. However few things are something I observed everywhere: Taproot only helps few large multisigs. Telegram, IRC, Github, Mailing List

    NACK, I see no reason to assume @TheBlueMatt isn't following the policy for DNS seed operators.

    Cool. So people can mislead others about bitcoin core and related development but not even few mins to talk about their involvement and use of seed in this repo. Thanks

    I don't know what your beef with Matt is, but this is neither the place nor the way to voice it.
