amethyst users could be monitors themselves, cache some of it locally for startup, publish their results for others that follow them or etc.. lots of possibilities. it only needs to check once a day or etc to be effective in getting rid of ded relays.

Frankly the dead relays aren't much of an issue since we only try to connect from time to time, with progressively longer delays. The real issue are the duplicated or buggy ones because it makes the app download things twice or three times.
ohh, ok. i assumed de-dupe would be easy. but yeah I imagine my follow list has a lot of wine filter subscribers if that is all this is.. 🤔
