there's no need for it, or to decrease it, or to increase block size

fee rates tell everything... if they became sticky at over $3/tx in fiat denomination of today then ok, maybe we need to look at it but at this point, no

most shitcoiners still don't get it that bitcoin has avoided a hard fork since 2017 and that was a soft fork, whereas most shitcoin chains hardfork every other month

they are utterly dim and retarded if they don't even think to ask the question "so how did that happen?" and the only thing that has driven the rates up temporarily has been shitcoin tokens on bitcoin, ordinals etc, and none of them have pushed the fee rate up for long, maybe a week and a bit in the worst cases 

 I'm just asking if a hard fork would be necessary.  

 yes, because it changes what constitutes a valid block hash (work) 

 Okay, thanks
