why do you think you have not been in control?
you have been as much in control as the channel partner. so anyone can close.
you see the details on the node page.
and you get an email notification because you enabled those about events of your wallet. interesting that you think the sender controls this.
I know lightning is still early and complicated… also as you’re a programmer feel free to open an issue on github… it’s all open source

Here are screenshots of my GetAlby account, as well as my self-hosted Alby Hub. My sats are all gone since the connector closed earlier today.
If I had any control over it I would at least see my balance still there(my wallet was not actually in my self-hosted hub). Nostr was my first experience with Lighting wallets, and it was way more complicated than Bitcoin.
This has not been a good experience, yet I still have my Bitcoin. Right now, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the Lightning network (or at least the connectors). It certainly does not inspire me at all go want to go deeper into it.
Because it is complicated, I don't know why/who/where it went wrong. All I know is, I did nothing to it today, and I have 0 sats now. Someone must have my sats now. There is no way I'm paying for another connector to connect 0 sats.
