noStrudel is not using a gossip model yet. but its something I would like to implement. however whats been keeping me from implementing it is I need to find a way to ask the users permission (or make them aware) that the client is going to connect to random relays to get the feed.

Its also the reason I have not implemented NIP-42 yet. because I don't want to sign auth requests for the user in the background without at least making them aware first
