No network? What do you mean?
Give the user a prompt to choose network type, then connect.
It might be too much info for new users. Gotta figure out a way to boil this down to grandma.
Ask the user to choose the answer that matches him the best: -the internet is made of tubes 👴🏻 -dev knows best, me follow dev 🐑 -mf I know what I’m doinggg 🥷🏼
yes this is how UX is ideally done for broad audiences
dont request from relays, publish to relays, or pull media for pfp, banner, images etc until user specifies whether they want tor or clearnet on the initial opening of client if never set. existing users can default as it is today
2nd this.
