It's funny to see how non-Amethyst users react to our "complicated" relay settings. They think users are stupid and can't figure it out.

We are now a few days in and I am very proud of how our actual users reacted to it. Our UI being quite rudimentary for relay selections but that didn't scare anyone. People asked questions, changed things, and generally kept going.

There was a chance Amethyst Outbox would crash and burn. But it didn't. People are not stupid. You give them the tools, they will figure it out.

Empowering users is a hard thing to do. But it is way better than letting an app hide things from them so much that they don't even know where their content is.

As we move forward, those tools will get better and better.
