"shitcoin because its not Bitcoin" is intellectually lazy.
the "all money returns to one" axiom is just a theory that your confirmation bias happens to prefer. there have always been other "chains."
and telling non-technical people to "just run a LN node" for privacy isn't a solution.
although it is has gotten better, its still more administrative overhead than most people are going to do.
and third, it isn't correct to guilt people about not "supporting decentralization and security" if they use monero.
they're supporting decentralization, security AND privacy.

People aren't going to run a LN node if just some normie off the street. Or if they don't have the time or ability to learn how to do that in order to improve privacy.
They can just get Monero though and achieve it. Pretty sweet.
I just setup a @Rizful.com LN node last night.
its a great middle ground I think, hosted and custodial (semi-custodial?) but good for just messing around with LN.
people like me who are somewhat technical and want privacy coud just spin up a node, open some channels to receive or send funds and then delete the node.
