 The Lightning Network is our best chance at escape from a full surveillance capitalism society.

Private, peer to peer payments by default. 
 #zapped from #ecash mint ⚡💥 
 In BTC yes but Lightning seems to be heading towards USD and USDT on LN rails which seems like a way to keep the surveillance. For eg, Strike which is KYC being rolled out in Asia and Africa etc. Need non KYC Bitcoin and ideally only BTC economies. 
 I think a Cashu or Fedi-type system with a stablecoin is probably the best scenario.
With that system, even if KYC was performed on the members, they would have transaction-level privacy. 
 Interesting I need to catch up on Fedi type systems. Any good resources to learn about them you recommend? 
 Great place to start. Easy to run yourself and also do multisig with whoever you select

 Here's fedimint. Fedi (for profit co.) Is really only one building on it, to be released. Multisig available too for mints. Still great to see

 You mean surveillance sosialism? The one where the expenses of surveillance is sosialised but rewards go only to the few.
