Agree with the general sentiment, but it only has decent privacy with #Bolt12, without LND, and depending on how you use it (inc. choice of device). It scales enough for now, and will be more decentralised as UX improves.

Why is LND bad for privacy? Also are BOLT11 invoices not that great too?

LND logs all transactions forever by default (most people run their node on big-tech providers); it's funded by PayPal mafia; and they refuse to implement Bolt 12. Many of the improvements of Bolt12 on Bolt11 are related to privacy. But again, it depends how you use it, and depends on ur individual threat model.

Man, I love lightning so much I wanna use it for everything, too bad the knobs I'm buying from don't seem to agree 😄

The threat model excludes me. Includes those with whole network topographic view.
