I saw them this morning but of course can't find them now. I'm sure other SNers who are on twitter can find them. In essence, though, he said that bitcoin should change at the protocol level if it doesn't want transactions censored, and he intends to censor Putin or other sanctioned addresses. I'm paraphrasing.

He's not wrong. It'd be definitely better if censorship wasn't feasible. Not clear if that's technologically feasible. But there's lots of smart people in Bitcoin who might figure out a way.
and he intends to censor Putin
Putin's a genocidal scumbag so I'll give him a pass on getting emotional about it. The founder of F2Pool seems to have fled China, another awful country. He's probably got personal feelings about this stuff based on his experiences.
It's true that he only mentioned Putin by name, but then said "and other sanctioned addresses." To keep track of every entity sanctioned by the U.S. govt. or other nations would require a full time staff, not to mention that abiding by this destroys a big reason that bitcoin exists in the first place.
Leave his pool asap.
His deleted tweets are scary. This pool needs to be boycotted.
go archive links or screenshots? if not, more details?

changes to the base protocol are a last resort. there are other options, like miners changing to another pool or using stratum v2

nack on that one. miners should leave that pool pronto.

He should change his handle to @satofishy
what we need is a stratum v2 pool. quite literally won't be possible if miners themselves are building the block template.
Has much hash left F2pool since this was discovered?
miners really should change pools anyways.
What?!
This is Bitcoin, there's no "community consensus" required!
Does the Bitcoin protocol bend the knee to OFAC? Fuck no! Then the matter is settled.
