Yea looks like someone went phishing

They monitor it I guess through Alby Hub (a service which I pay for). Honestly might just shut it down because it’s really just a pain in the ass.

I think this is when someone requests a very large invoice from your lightning address with probably no intention to actually pay it. I can see how it can be misleading.

People still ignore the ease of running a Monero node?

Yeah and you don't even need to run your own Monero node to get better than the best lightning privacy. Just download a Monero wallet like Cake Wallet and you have Bitcoin on-chain ease of use and security while having lightning level fees regardless of transaction size. Actually easier since you don't need to worry about UTXO management.
