This comment perfectly displays how horrible of an idea it is to require users to understand and manage relays.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m – if you’re serious about making a client, I hope end-user relay UI/UX is high on the list.

nostr:npub1cwhy4k8qd2guyqz8t45u4yzyp4k4fhnjn573ukh6e77mde2dgm9s2lujc5 – Red means they’re no longer connecting, so you can probably remove them, and yes, he means delete all of your current relays and replace them with those.

Thanks, I have only 4 out of the 10 or so to remove then. I don't seem to have a problem with the one I set up on Primal.net though.

I really haven't delved that much into relays yet, I was just taking advantage of the knowledge shared here on this post. I usually look things up and try them out myself.

Other than that, I wouldn't consider myself an average user, I run a web hosting server & web services since 1999 and have a lot of other tech experience (running Linux and Graphene OS, etc).

I also just had eye surgery and misread the post, thought it said, "add these to your relays" not, "use these as your relays" 😬

Definitely not an average user! I’m in the same industry.

Ultimately, though, my point was that if nostr is going to be successful, the average non-technical user shouldn’t need to understand relays at all to do basic things like filter common spam.

It is true 💯
