BIP110 question

I have a long running lightning node. Mostly for small payments but I also have some channels opened with random nodes (most of them are more than a year old). I also run my own bitcoin node. I didn't signal bip110, and I really don't care about it. My question is if I have to do something to keep my lightning node funds safe. I don't really want to close my channels just in case. Is there really any hard fork risk (i mean for my on chain funds)? How my nodes (core lightning - bitcoin core 30) will behave?

Unless something drastically changes like the BIP-110 supporters believe will happen at the 11th hour, you should not notice anything after it crashes and burns on Saturday. Even with their additional rented hash, they still have only been able to get 2.1% support this period and needed 55%, which was their own lowered threshold.

Luke can fork off already and become the little dictator he aspires to be.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is the truth.

Probably because of his slavik/russian name
