the gripe i have about these other networks is not that they exist.
yes people can choose which home they sit it and visit.

its the matter of them calling these other networks bitcoin2.0. and coercing people to exodus bitcoin for these other networks. tarnishing bitcoin by saying it cant/will never scale. saying it should not be used for daily purchases. etc etc

nothing wrong with having a niche service that fits a demograph that want something different. as long as they explain the differences and the risk factors they may come across when using this different thing.

like exchanges. people can use them but people should be aware of the 'not your key. not your coin' risk. aswell as highlight examples of being 'goxxed' (mtgox shutdown and value loss)

its like mentioning altcoins. showing how BSV is 51% attacked regularly and court transcripts of CSW saying he wants to brutalise the code to gain access to coins he has no keys for.

its like highlighting that if someone just has 1 channels on LN their 'payment success' is not 100% guaranteed.
its like highlighting that if someone just has channels on LN their partner may stall/delay signing or do other malicious things
its like highlighting that if someone just has channels on LN they need to watch 24/7 to notice a malicious partner broadcast
and so on

but to just uptopian fantasy PR that LN is bitcoin and the solution to bitcoin utility of all users no matter the value they want to use.. thats just BAD on so many levels
