More private than KYC-less Lightning?

Yup.

So military-level privacy. I'd say, Lightning is private enough for me (= normie not buying anything illegal).

Self-custodial Lightning is too hard for normies.

Not to mention the fact it requires a consistent and stable internet connection at all times to work.

Two ice-storms and trees falling on my fiber line, convinced me to explore alternative approaches.

I still don’t understand exactly what KYC-less Lightning is. I think it means standing up your own node, using your own BTC for setting up channels - maybe KYC-less but still surveillable.

Any LN setup where you can't link private data to an LN address. Doesn't matter how it's hosted.
