Ok so when people talk about losing funds on lightning how does that happen? Is it that a force close in high fee environment will eat up the balance of my side of the Channel if it too small or are there other pitfalls? I’m trying to understand the mechanics.

The other case is that they refer to a recent issue with LND in which a node can get spammed and therefore forceclose channels in which case you need to retrieve your funds on-chain. But this isn't nice because you need to pay a transaction fee which can be high.
