another idea:

the public lightning address can be put into a well-crafted bio on SN or Nostr, for completely private sat-zaps, and CC-zaps can be the SN-exclusive way to rate posts (like on Hacker News); this way the rank list can remain; if the content is great, the stacker will see their public LN balance increase and they will put more effort into LN wallet maintenance; if not, he'll go milk sats somewhere else;

remove lightning wallet connectivity completely; the strength of SN is in its open-source GitHub-based code; instead, direct people to learn how to use & run lightning; maintenance of LN wallet connectivity is a pain in the ass;

that's it! if u don't know the stacker well or his content sucks, don't sat-zap them; by their fruits u shall know them;
