I'm about 75% Snort and 25% Astral. My issue is most likely that I have 23 relays. I need to nuke about 10 of them and see if that fixes my lag issues.
Discussion
open response - ordinary users will never want to engage in relay management. If clients automanaged - e.g monitor which relays have the people they follow, and only hit those, but go wider if "no posts from X for 24 hours". OR everyone will end up relying on the Google Relay.
IANAC - I am not a coder...
But the user and operators still have a choice.
They do, but I just flagged it because a LOT of people here are very into decentralisation, and that means spotting where the likes of Google might step in and designing it out, as much as possible. I'm personally neutral. I use a gmail account for some things and a text display only one for others.
I'm currently using Iris.to and it has a max for relays in the settings. But to be honest I couldn't say anything about performance, because I'm just started using nostr 2 hours ago
Less relays mean less lags?
If you're only connected to a small number or fast relays, then your client has less connections and less data to send out and receive.
