The fact that the only way to use Lightning reliably (unless a constant risk of force closures due to either a application or daemon bug/misconfiguration fits your reliability criteria) is through a custodian should speak volumes about how awful Lightning is on an implementation level, but the fact it's on "Bitcoin" (consensus and/or opinion may vary) clouds critical analysis from the majority of voices that cast those out rightfully pointing out its problems as "shitcoiners."
Cashu is the less awful version of Lightning, yet that does nothing to address the centralization problem; you just have to trust that your mind operator doesn't fuck you over, which you already have to do with custodians, but you now have to contend with an individual and hope THEY don't fuck you over rather than forcing yourself to have that same level of faith in a company.
But HFSP and/or being a filthy shitcoiner if you point out how easy it'd be to just raise Bitcoin's block size to Cash's initial starting point (4 MB), and counterargue the latter with the fact that SegWit already made the small block size argument disingenuous by raising it to 2 MB.
