yes. if we dont run our own relays a few things will (already have) happen. 1) clients throw away that entire relay configuration page because "muh users cant understand", and just use one big relay. 2) outbox never happens, so running your own relay is useless. 3) we all end up on primal, and other clients cant even see the notes because the 'relay' does not serve other nostr clients the notes. 4) primal is forced to censor. 5) no apps or relays are left and primal corp is exactly like twitter but with kyc zaps and advertising and secret trending algos.

hell yes!! im also working hard to try to help the relay ecosystem. i realize my installer for relay.tools needs lots of work, and also may be way too hardcore to get started on, but this was always the idea is to help people run relays. the hosted version can be a good way to get started and figure out how relays work with clients and get your feet wet, then you can graduate to running your own. i refer to it as "school of relays" ๐Ÿ˜Ž A THOUSAND POINTS OF LIGHT will spring alive and unleash an unstoppable flood of json websockets across the earth.

Awesome, your doing a great service to Nostr for sure ๐Ÿค™ Thankfully the instructions for WoT relay were pretty easy to follow, I got along fine. I meant to try this once before, but got sidetracked. Hasn't been touched in 3 months but it looks like it could be a great tool to get up & running quickly on a Linux server.
