Yes. But, you can still get a FC situation. It is always good to open channels with folks you know to be active and reliable. For various reasons. That is how we started Plebnet. Lightning Node running is a team sport!
A protection mechanism for channels to not lose funds in case of an issue.
Force Close is a safety mechanism in LN. If something is not right with a HTLC, a node will initiate a FC to protect funds. In a high fees environment that FC will look to settle in next block so you or the other node will incur the closing and sweeping cost. It is a bit complicated topic but part of running a routing node.
I will always run a Lightning Node. Although, it is losing Sats with random force closes lately by other nodes and high fees. Lightning Nodes are the backbone of Bitcoin LN payments and for Zaps on Nostr. So, if we Plebs don’t run a node, no one else will run it for us. Self sovereignty is key.

I understand if you pester #[2] they may update for you to more custom. I like mine - random ones are kind of fun!
WE make the community better and have fun. One Pleb at a time.
When they say No it always means Yes in such overreach.
Bailout is coming. And, I am against it.

You can’t make this up —

I am jelly. Missing it this time.
I did random plebs but went multiple times if successful once.
Silicon Valley Bank created the Web3 garbage. Remember that.
Interesting. Any hardware or software updates from yesterday to today? It felt slower today for sure.
It was both when you click to zap in Damus. And some invoices took longer to open to the green send button.
