Making an app user have to *think* about relays early and upfront is bad UX.

You are making a tradeoff: cognitive burden for censorship resistance.

When 99% of your users do not face a direct censorship threat, you only add overhead.

Especially now with multiple categories of relays, that are confusing to even nerds like us.

All this effectively does: annoys the users who want nostr, and repels those who are curious.

Instead of offering on-ramps to newbies, we are offering on-walls.

Relay management is a must *and* it belongs in advanced settings. The word "relay" should be used sparingly and deliberately.

Convention over configuration all the way.

We need rational defaults + fine-grained configs.

default relays should be based on who the user wants to follow

they should get a list of top 100 accounts on NOSTR and asked to follow 10 of them, then relays are chosen from that
