It lists relay speeds. Paid relays generally have less spam.

Awesome share!!! -- Thank you! -- Great resource here.

Yes this is definitely a good list! I am developing a new client and am trying to set some default relays for users to connect to automatically the first time they open the page. My concern is I wouldn't want them to see spam. I believe it would give a bad first impression. Any suggestions on specific relays you think that are free and have the least amount of spam would be very helpful!

Free and spam free is kind of an oxymoron. One possible solution for you would be to let them write to free relays but only read from paid.

Thanks! I think that is a great idea! Will likely implement something like this.

This is an excellent question; I suspect - given the early position in adoption curve--a pretty dynamic list -- I think re-visit and review which of your relays are current active ...via Iris --I believe the 'active' relays are 'lit' ---and yes..there's also 'paid' relays...I too am seeing what can be done without paying though -- I think part of the promise and strength is connecting everyone...even those with only a cell phone kinda thing. -- If you are a content creator looking to monetize -- it makes alot of sense to look at paid relays..imo ...if it's social and tech/engineering...there's several approaches I suppose ... ha! -- GL friend! -- I'd look at your list of relays and maybe mess around with them from time to time...it'll be a different set of options in 3 months etc. --Let's get it fam!
