We also need to consider that CLN users are more technical. Anyone can run an LND node on Umbrel. Experienced and noobs alike. So you end up with a lot of RasPi nodes runs by noobs like me. Then I would guess LND dominates the lightning space. I wonder how many there are, but a safe bet is above...

Maybe nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy knows more about this. I monitor my channel closes with core and walletnotify nostr messages, i just don’t see closes that often on CLN unless they are manually done. Does LND close channels if the other node is offline f...

Totally. IMO Lightning Labs are in cahoots with miners…

Force close with LND happens when there is an open HTLC and one of the nodes go offline for some time. Then in order to clear the transation force closing happens. The problem can be the internet connection or tor, but also some bug in LND that does not deal well with HTLC in some situations.
