damus is by far the best, after that there's a real drop off

Check out the relays I'm using. I probably have too many, but my experience seems fine (for the most part).

I think #Primal's default set are pretty good actually, same with #Snort. I'm not planning to let #Apple rip me off to try #Damus but I hear good things about it. I think the only reason to add alternative #relays is if you want something special like a bridge or whatever. Otherwise the defaults seem to be well chosen.

You can use damus relay without using damus

Good point. It's there already in #Coracle. So is #Primal. I was having an anti #Apple moment :)

Thanks 🙏 Copied a bunch and it's already noticeably improved things
