 Mutiny Wallet Disables Sending Zaps to Zeus Wallet Users

"We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further."

 Not the first.
Wont be the last. 
 Hold on a sec. If the protocol permits it, then it is fine. Who are you to say the implementation is irresponsible? This makes you censoring fascists like a random "democratic" fearmongering government. Thoughts? 
 If your wallet channels get force-closed and charged on-chain fees (in a high fee environment) for zaping someone 10 sats it's sort of irresponsible to leave the feature on, at least for now, it seems 
 Blocking specifik addresses or invoices for payments is still a distructive solution. If they do not like the channel treatment, they can set channel engagement rules or even force close specific channels themselves. That is a proof of work solution. 
 The claim against LND reminds me of early 2000s and microsoft trying to take over javascript rather than trying to find consensus. Browsers were a mess back then. 
 Fine to make this a default if the user can go in and reenable it at their own risk. 

Absolutely absurd to do across the board with no option to re-enable...
