Can we improve privacy on LN+ ?

When creating a new channel, LN+ leaks to the public which of the two nodes provided the initial liquidity. This unfortunately allows anyone to know which node owned the UTXOs used and not use (change output) to create the channel. And by extend all UTXOs involved in all the channels the node ever created on LN+.

Some ideas that I think suck but I haven’t found anything more elegant :(
1/ Don’t show the name of the users/nodes participating in a swap to someone that isn’t logged in (and doesn’t fit the swap requirements / verified)
2/ Once a swap is completed, it becomes private, only visible to the participants of the swap
3/ Once the swap duration is over, the swap should be deleted from the website

Good points. I will think this through and discuss with some people who specialize in this as well to come up with a solution. Definitely on my to-do list.
