here is my honest answer:

1) It was my experience (a long time ago) that having a small relays list lead to people not getting my events and me not receiving other peoples events

2) I struggle to evaluate relays. many are really flaky (at least over VPN). the more I add the less I am trusting any one relay. I would love quality independent analysis of relays.

1) It's still like that, unfortunately, unless you use a broadcaster.

2) Yeah, would be nice. Well, you can use mine. That's free and nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpq0npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qqq7986 stuff is all good.

So that we could all just use two of yours and broadcast to the others?

Not sure what you mean. So mutiny is a write only broadcaster, which means, you won't see reactions or comments if you don't read from those relays. Some people want this because they're more about reach than interaction. Or it can be useful for profiles and relay lists. The wine broadcaster goes and collects the reactions and comments for you so it is read and write..

Not really planning on doing either of those things, I am hoping that gossip outbox will catch on eventually and it won't be necessary. It's also a pattern that will hit some roadblocks when nip42 auth starts happening.

"starts happening" 🤣
