Since Amethyst is now exposing the IP address/location of users' mobile devices to potentially hundreds of relays - which will inevitability include malicious relays - I think that 'internal TOR connections' needs be 'on' by default. Once upon a time, I'd have been in a whole world of strife if my device started passing traffic to an end-point in Iran, N. Korea etc.

I hope people abuse this so it's shown that this method of centralizing relays like this not only contradicts that it's suppose to be a decentralized network but it's harmful to people & the app like jesus everything still loads slow & clunky. Someone fork the old version & add the new stuff to it without this relay changes.

There are very good arguments both ways. The outbox model lends to better UX, and means that replies to notes aren't missing if you're not reading from a relay that somebody else is using. And there's also the argument that relays are not a practical solution to the censorship problem I.e. PKARR used by #Pubky.
