Why you think it has to do with Damus? Whitenoise has no technical connection with damus as far as I know.
Discussion
The issue is when you add a relay to white noise it removes all relays from Damus, and when you add relays to Damus it deletes all relays on white noise.
White noise replied to me yesterday saying they’re working on a fix.
Ah thank you. Did not know this happens with Damus. Only did know that there is a problem with relays also on Android. Therefore I did not see the connection to Damus.
