They are, but we're always going to do down this route unless relays put a cap on the amount of pubkeys reading or writing to them.

How many relays do you have? What's your performance like?

For me, I have 18 relays now. Snort and Amethyst are extremely slow for me. I get a lot of lag and the experience is just not very fun to be honest. This is a change for me on Amethyst. As a native app, it was extremely fast until yesterday.

I am considering moving to mostly paid relays, but the problem with this is that we don't know the relay's hardware specs. We could be paying for a relay that runs on a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to pay for relays with large resource pools, not just a relay that's green and new as this could change in a week.

Shill me your relays.

...on my phone and with a burner account. you can't post yet. i wouldn't even call this alpha yet since most features don't work. it sure looks pretty though. the UI is definitely sweet and smooth.

Just the beginning of the rabbit hole. Congrats!

I'm still seeing lots of Chinese in the global feed. Hopefully that means our Chinese brothers and sisters have found other clients to use or Damus hasn't been removed yet.

Can anyone in Mainland China confirm that it's been removed? What about if the app was already installed on a device. Will the app be removed from devices it's already been installed on too?

No plans yet. But I find those interfaces hard to justify. You get some suggestions but without context of who is there and what is coming from there... If it is new information or not. It if was just from the Global feed or something that keeps showing up as a failed to load event set.
