I hadn’t considered that… thank you.
I installed Damus on my iOS/iPad devices and just started posting. I didn’t know I had agency in relay choice.
This experience of a decentralized social environment is exciting, but also nerve-wracking.
I wonder what the future of trust looks like in the Nostr ecosystem. I’m dating myself, but in many ways it feels like IRC from the mid 90’s: trust your IRC server not to log everything you say and your IDENT creds, if compromised allowed for your nick to be hijacked. There wasn’t as much of a financial incentive for attackers back then as there would be now vis a vis Crypto.
I’m excited and scared to be on Nostr. It kinda feels like the early web in that sense :)

Welcome. Yes it is very different and offers lots of configuration depending on client.
You can choose what relays you write notes to. You can select what relays you read from. You can run a relay privately at home as a backup for yourself. You can run a relay on a pixel called citrine. There are search relays. There are blaster relays that send far and wide.
Tinker away.
