How do you figure its a centralisation of power? There are 3 different lightning implementations to choose from, LND, Core and Eclair, you're free to use any one of them. If you want to use a custodial wallet by all means, if you don't you have the option to run your own node

Yes a lot of people will use custodial lightning because they don't want to deal with the hassle of channel management, but that's THEIR choice and the option to run your own channels is always there if you choose it

I was under the impression it was all the same network, sorry! When I heard that there was some censoring of transactions It made me worry about its long-term success. I have not used it yet as I just buy Bitcoin and hold.

Can you point me in the direction of the into where there is lightning censorship? Just like a bitcoin base chain a node can ignore a transaction doesn’t mean others won’t take it up

Hi Chekohler, I remember hearing about some node refusing to pass a transaction on the CTT podcast, I can't find it now. I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick and in my amateur hour misunderstood what it meant. Please ignore my previous comments as obviously, I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to Bitcoin and the lightning network.
