Still haven't figured out how to choose a 'good relay' and what it is even.
In Amethyst, at least, there is nice description what each type of relay is good for.

Except for Citrine (nprofile…utvn) (many thanks greenart7c3 (nprofile…0k9y) ), that is by design a good relay.

Periodic reminder that your relays see absolutely EVERYTHING you do on Nostr. Regardless of which Client you use. They literally see the app downloading zaps, replies, and reactions when you scroll your posts in real time.

So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that you TRUST THEM with that information.

Nostr is just like a browser. The server has to know what you want to see to send it to you, and that gives them the power to track you and see what you are asking for. There is no way around it.

I can't stress this enough.
