something about messing around with HTLCs on payments. and something that sounds like rage quitting.

i can't take it seriously.

especially that they reference linux kernel security problems that are related to NDAs.

my opinion is that it's FUD, probably promoted by the same crowd that is making all the DC cuck sock puppet me too idiots.

manufacture a fake crisis and then push for something that enables more bullshit along the same lines as ordinals, which came courtesy of taproot btw.

devs understated the technical debts on the pitches to get the projects funded, and now it's being acknowledged that a core design feature of lightning (channels) pushes the use cases at scale into custodial systems.

Non-custodial Lightning requires channel opens and closes that needs large amounts of tied up Bitcoin, at a certain rate, limits the upward growth. And places undue pressure on-chain.

Your cold stored sats are safe and sound - your zap wallet sits on a rug until further notice...

TLDR: Sovereign Lightning use cases are "Prohibitively capital intensive".
