I don’t advocate for the removal of free relays. I use some myself.

Yeah, it’s all preference and tradeoffs of course.

I’m not on a rampage to get people to delete free relays fwiw - it is just the best way for me to illustrate what the filter actually does. If you run filter.nostr.wine (on a client without specific relay settings) along with the top 5 big public relays, it effectively does nothing (besides broadcast).

That’s the reason I’m saying try it, then augment your experience however you’d want.

Thanks for you input, i have your relay as well. I am new to this space (2 days) and not that tech savy anymore, im old now....but still trying to learn. There needs to be a document somewhere that explains relays and how to set it up with your client ect for 5 year olds. I could not really find anything.

That part is up to you! I would say start by removing all of them and then if you’re having trouble loading content or feel or feed isn’t populated enough, slowly add a few back till you find a good mix.

Some public relays do a good job filtering spam and perform well, others not so much.
