Its not a matter of privacy or paranoia. its that I cant reject signing requests. even when approve the request to sign NIP-42 events it still keeps asking for the same relays (seems like a bug)
My frustration is that this is the case for ALL nostr apps I've tried in the last year. every. single. one. of them expects me to click the "approve all" button and never look back, no concept of limiting the scope, no concept that are things I don't want to sign.
The offender is specifically NIP-42 and now every app I've tried eagerly authenticates me to the relay before it even needs to make a request for events.
Although WISP is probably the least offender here since its only asking me to sign auth events for relays on my list
