A decade of development and all it can show is zaps on Nostr. And now even that is going away?

Have you tried the marketplace? It looks cool in the UI till it's time to buy and you realize it's a simple DM. No checkout, no escrow. It's sad.

Did you see the force close bot going nuts just now?

No. Explain like I'm 5

This is why you use Global =)

A bunch of lightning channels are being close for some reason

Hmm, perhaps the DoJ made them an offer to shut down or be raped?

I gotta admit that I don't know most details about how Lightning works. The node operator can close your channel and you lose all your SATs?

To send and receive sats from your node, you need an inbound and outbound channel to be made with another node. They can close whenever someone wants. Good to have a few. Force closing means one node does not respond and you force it off

You dont loose money, it returns back to you after the close is complete.

Channles are just you acting like bank to fund transactions
