 Me, making lightning transactions with no chain trail

Pew Pew Pew  
 Wallet of Satoshi can see everything you do 

How is that "no chain trial"? 🤔

And if it's so simple and hassle-free to use lightning why do you have Wallet of Satoshi as your zap address. 
If you, a Bitcoin maxi, can't be bothered to use lightning privately and sovereignly what makes you think the average user will use lightning that way? 
 I only use wos for nostr zaps, which are already public by design. Average user should just use ecash for their spending which is way more private than monero  
 Monero hide the sender, the amount and the receiver by default.

What can be "way more private" ?

Are you lying ? 
 Yes, zaps themselves are public, but you're introducing a third party to see what you do with it afterwards when you dont have to.

You must not know how ecash works then. Anonymity sets are fractured up between different mints. And denominated tokens within each mint splits it further. That will never be as private as a single unified anonymity set.
