2M sats per channel and 8 channels to large nodes should be good.
Oh I don't know. I don't have any lightning channels currently. I was asking nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 what his thoughts.
It's not the first time I've seen the recommendation of no less than 2mil for a channel. So currently that is what I would do, until I understand more.

that doesn't sound very decentralizing
Then open more channels to smaller nodes if you don't like it. You can also only open channels to people you plan on doing business with or sending and receiving from. This is just a general guideline to a general question.
The way lightning works is transactions get routed through channels (as I understand, correct me if I am wrong). So if we're all opening channels that does increase decentralization. Some nodes have more liquidity is inevitable and the same goes for channels.
