Self-custody is always better. Harder and costlier, but better.

Big fan of Amethyst, but this isn't the right move imo. What happens if there are uptime issues with the service? Not to mention the centralisation as already mentioned. Greater emphasis should be placed on default relays that are segregated and known to be reliable. Even though I agree completely with the mission of relaying.io to put ownership in hands of individuals. Also, what infra is relaying.io running on? Would appear AWS... Oof

And you are ok with being ruled by 5-10 large relays? Your data is their property. They can do whatever they want with your stuff.

Huge no, no to me.

It seems, imo, the current structure makes the most sense. Keep the current, reliable relays as defaults, but educate users on how to add their own relay as a failsafe.

People have options to use different clients if they want to :) no one is forcing anyone

You could use both, have “personal” relays and some larger but not too large ones. Just a thought
