here are some answers to common questions.

how do i know if this program is safe?

lightsocket is closed source and obfuscated. however:

i do not benefit from ruining my reputation by including malware to steal your $10 worth of bitcoin. if i wanted to spread malware, i would code roblox cheats.
lightsocket's source code has been audited by oguser.com staff in order to be posted on their site. you can find the forum post here.
the tool passes virustotal scans. scan it yourself if you want.

what if i forget my license key?

please see the account docs for account recovery instructions.

i started the program, but it closed immediately. what do i do?

run pnpm. if it says "command not found" or a similar error, this isn't the issue. if you do get a response, try running the program with pnpm start instead of npm start. if that fails, try node ./app/index.js.
make sure you have the latest version of nodejs installed.
make sure your config.yaml file is valid. you can compare it to the example config in the config.yaml file docs.

"nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings" with a failure to read config.yaml?

this means there's a formatting error in your config.yaml file. if you have added an extra value to the header of a section, remove it. here is an example of that:

keepalive:
  enabled: true
  percent_chance_custom_status_message: 49
  percent_chance_custom_status_emoji: 20
  distribution: 90 # <- this is not allowed. it should be just "distribution:"
    online: 20
    idle: 15
    dnd: 40
    invisible: 25

how do i update lightsocket?

replace the program folder. this is the zip folder that you downloaded, it runs the program. you do not need to change your home folder (which is in your home directory). replace the zip folder with the new version, and keep your home folder.
