Just an observer answers the first. I avoid getting emotionally invested in things I have no control over.
I don't think I'm bailing on bitcoin either way, so I'm not sure there's a meaningful sense in which I'm pro or anti. I doubt it's going to happen and I'm perfectly fine with that.
Probably very incompetently
I worry about this. Not for me because I have only 70k sats outbound left with k00b and 35k inbound on an LSP who both said they're not gonna fork, and I haven't yet fuly architected my next LN node.
But I worry for people who will lose money because they get doublespent on the force close.
I'm still not totally clear how that will play out. No doubt there will be lots of chatter on here about it and I'll read through it attentively.
In the likely event that they stay a small minority, I don't expect it to matter much. Most of my channel partners are large lsp's, who would likely stay on the majority side. SN isn't forking, which only leaves my channel with Predyx. I don't think they're forking but I suppose I should ask them.
So the problem is that if a former minority fork overtakes the former majority fork (even though unlikely) then you can get force closed in the past, beyond your lock time.
Without lightning I would be the biggest fan of chaos. Because that allows non-orchestrated order to form and then we have a real outcome
With payment channels of any kind, or any multisig with penalty mechanism in general, I.e. LN, this means that assurances taken for granted currently are up in the air. No matter whether that is a narrated attack like what happened on Monero, or an attack that is narrated as benevolent, as in 110.
That only answers the second part of my question 😂
