That's because on Amethyst you automatically connect to everyone's relays so every time a relay connects followers must be recounted.

I like primal better in my opinion because it has a check mark next to my name and I have no issues on primal.
Everyones got the checkmark it's not a special thing. It's literally a gimnick because people liked that twitter did it. It has no purpose & that's cool if you use primal it's not bad I just think it's odd how your zaps are limited & the client censors with wot with no way around it except using another app to access nostr.
I believe in freedom of speech and primal won't censorship people
