It's becoming increasingly hard to run a Lightning node over the past year. Self custodial Lightning with a great user experience is hard enough, without having USA regulatiors breathing down your neck. I wish this team and their users the best of luck.

Are the big name folks doing anything to work with regulators to try and enshrine (and not regulate the F out of) self custody and self hosting?
Right. They didn't mention it and I didn't mean to imply that was the reasoning. I'm just stating that the hostile environment doesn't make operations easier.
What changed that made "increasingly hard" to run a ln node over the past year?
