Oh so you half debunked 1/3 points and it's all good now?
Good luck putting a company and service provider between your Bitcoin and yourself. That was Satoshi's vision, the whitepaper famously said Bitcoin: A Peer-to-company-to-service-provider-to-Peer Electronic Cash System as we all remember.
It's amazing how willing some "Bitcoiners" are of reinventing tradfi/banking with extra steps.

There are about 15,000 active routing nodes on the Lightning Network right now. Over 50% of the entire network runs on node-in-a-box software like Umbrel, RaspiBlitz, and MyNode. And what hardware do you think 99% of those OS builds are explicitly designed for? Raspberry Pis.
The massive corporate liquidity hubs (like Kraken or ACINQ) run on enterprise servers, sure. But the actual decentralized routing mesh of the Lightning Network is literally held together by thousands of people running Pi 4s and Pi 5s.

It’s a total myth that you can't run a Bitcoin/Lightning node on a Raspberry Pi. It’s actually one of the most cost-effective sovereign setups you can build.
This bad boy (my Pi 5) has been running my Lightning node flawlessly for two years. I just decided to switch from a pruned node to a full archival node. I restarted the sync from scratch, and less than 24 hours later, I’m already over a third of the way through the chain.
Zero interruptions to my Lightning channels. I just flipped LND into Neutrino mode so it stays online and routing while the heavy Bitcoin sync chugs along in the background.
If you use a cheap MicroSD card, you’re gonna have a bad time. Plug in a basic USB SSD and it absolutely flies.
At ~5-10 watts of power draw, this whole setup costs maybe $15 to $30 a year in electricity to run 24/7. Pretty cost effective.

if you just want to receive Lightning tips, Neutrino lets you run a self-custodial node on something as small as a Raspberry Pi. It operates as a light client, so it skips the heavy block storage entirely and just pulls the headers it needs to verify your specific channels. Super cheap to set up and runs just fine.
I've been running my own Lightning node with an intact channel on a Raspberry Pi 5 for two years now, using it frequently without any expensive enterprise gear.

To best of my knowledge/understanding:
Yes, those extra fees (0.15% in, 0.25% out) go directly to the Spark Service Provider (SSP), even when you are using Cake Wallet's implementation.
Here is exactly why: When you use Cake Wallet's new "Lightning" setup, you aren't actually transacting directly on the Lightning Network. You are operating on the Spark statechain (integrated via the Breez SDK). Anytime you want to send or receive from an actual Lightning node, an SSP has to actively bridge the funds between the Spark statechain and the real Lightning Network. That 0.15% and 0.25% is the toll the SSP charges to act as that bridge.
To answer your second question: No, Cake Wallet does not charge an additional fee on top of this. Cake does not slap an extra premium on basic peer-to-peer sends. Their business model revolves around making money from their in-app token swaps, fiat on/off ramps, and Cake Pay services.
So while Cake isn't double-dipping on the transaction itself, you are still subjected to Spark's bridging fees just to interact with the broader ACTUAL/REAL Lightning Network—which definitely undercuts the "near-zero fee" ethos of running a real Lightning node.

Devil is in the details.
They're using something called Spark under the hood. It's a statechain that can interoperate w/ Lightning, it's NOT LIGHTNING.
https://docs.spark.money/learn/faq
Now you can elect to implement/ship this, it's kind of shit system w/ trust assumptions, that's fine, that's your lack of care. BUT they DECEPTIVELY advertise it AS LIGHTNING whereas IT'S NOT LIGHTNING.
It has very different trust assumptions.
Here's a summary version:
https://www.bitcoinlayers.org/
This false marketing move casts serious doubts over the honesty of Cake. ALMOST NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THE DETAILS!!!
0.15% in, 0.25% out. Real Lightning has no entry/exit fees. This thing is only cosplaying as Lightning.

AilliA was missing the right client tool tailored for Long-form Content (NIP-23).
She likely tried to post a "thread" or a standard note (Kind 1) using a general social client (like Damus or Amethyst), which is optimized for short, Twitter-like text. To get the "Substack experience" on Nostr—formatted articles with embedded images, video, and headers—she needed to use a dedicated publishing interface.
Here is the technical answer she needed:
1. The Protocol: NIP-23
Nostr has a specific event type for articles: Kind 30023. Unlike standard notes, these events support:
Markdown formatting (headers, bold, italics).
Titles and Summaries (essential for the "blog" look).
Embedded Media: You can link images and videos directly within the Markdown body, and capable clients will render them inline, just like a blog post.
2. The Tools (Clients)
She should have used one of these dedicated long-form clients to author her post. Once published, it would live on the blockchain (relays) but be viewable anywhere.
Yakihonne: This is likely the best answer for her specific "multimedia" request. It explicitly focuses on rich media, long-form articles, and even "smart widgets" for video/interactive content. It is the closest thing to a "Nostr CMS."
Habla.news: A clean, minimalist long-form reader and editor. It mimics the Medium/Substack reading experience perfectly.
Highlighter: A newer, slicker tool for creators that focuses heavily on the writing and reading experience.
The "How-To":
Go to Yakihonne.com or Habla.news.
Login with her Extension (NIP-07) or key.
Use their "Write Article" editor.
Paste the text, drag-and-drop the images/video links into the Markdown.
Publish.
It would have appeared as a beautiful, single-page blog post rather than a fragmented thread.

Potentially, but not the only reason of inconsistency.
Ghost Likes (Anti-Spam): X’s algorithm flagged the liker as "suspicious." The user sees the red heart on their screen, but the backend invalidated the vote immediately to prevent botting.
Private Likes Sync Bug: Since likes became private, the notification system (which sees the action) and the public counter (which displays it) frequently fail to sync.
Aggressive Caching: The distributed system is lagging; the notification is real time, but the public metric is serving an old version of the data.

The significant workforce reductions at X heavily impacted the Trust and Safety (T&S) teams responsible for content moderation.
With a reduction in human moderation staff, the platform has become more reliant on automated systems. The layoffs changed manual reviews from a core part of the moderation process to a barely functional system reserved for rare exceptions. For the average user, the appeals process is now an automated loop that is difficult or impossible to escalate to a human.
Consequently, it's now harder than ever to have a nuanced manual review and revert suspensions.
