Then contribute? It doesn't get built on its own.
I've yet to see much that's convinced me that LNs are anything other than an interesting curio but I no doubt would've thought the same of the internet had I been introduced to it in its nascent stages.
I don't have time to contribute. Are you suggesting unless one contributes one isn't allowed to discuss or criticize the current approach? When I tell billion dollar organisations what the roadmap looks like for the code I'm writing them, they make decisions based around that, and if my shit was still unusable 5 years later I would be broke and they would be pissed. I opposed segwit2x and BCH because I oppose everything they stand for, and I prefer the smallest block size possible because the smaller the better if second layer solutions are available. But its been fucking years, and if its going to be another 5 years, 10 years, 100 years, we need to start having a conversation about wtf we should do. What if they are never really possible? Do we just give up and say, oh well, I guess bitcoin doesn't work, fun while it lasted? What is it takes 10 years to iron out all the bugs? Do we just have censorship resistant money for the wealthy?
People have stopped fighting over this, which would be fine if there was a working solution. But there isn't, so we should keep fighting over it, because that's how progress it made. Luckily BCH happened, so we can have the fight with hopefully most of the morons out of the space.
Probably not the thread to start fighting over it, but on twitter, reddit and here to a lesser extent, it seems like everyone has decided that the bcash war being won decided all future wars relating to blocksize and hardforks. Just because bch was wrong in their arguments about them, doesn't mean all future arguments about them are also wrong.
