 Latest Amethyst is missing something.

Can anybody guess what it is?

R3ply Guy! That's what's missing!

 Well, I haven't seen him since the update and I'm using some free relays... 
 I do see him but to be honest it's always for the primal relay, try to delete it but the relay keeps coming back 😓 
 Nice! Now you're left with me as a reply guy! Oh YEEEE  
 How did that happen? 
 IDK, but Amethyst seems busier than usual hiding spam. 

I'm guessing the spam filter is now on steroids and looking like a Central Asian dictator's bodyguard complete with shades. 
 I still see it too. Also i am curious if that bodyguard decides what i see or not instead of me. That is why i ask... 
 There is that risk, 100%. Vitor seems very committed to freedom, but he may not be at the helm forever. Client diversity is a must in the long run 
 As i see now, i think i decide who the spammers and blocked are, so it seems ok.  
 I think Vitor has a very fair approach to this… but yes, your viewership is being filtered at the client level…. Not a terrible scenario 

As I’ve began to learn relays I understand the opportunity cost of a native token, (plz dont explain btc to me) the trade off is a more feudalistic style hierarchy… 

In this scenario, the feudal lords seem to be at very least chaotic neutral. But in a larger, more scalable scenario you’d have a plethora to choose from 
 I still see it but I have amethyst 
 Do you have any security filters setup targeting his posts? I do and I'm afraid to delete them in case they're still carrying part of the load... 
 Yeah I have a hidden words security filter 
 do you need Alby for Amethyst ?

what will i need to set it up on my phone ?  ( have only been using NOSTR on desktop so far and i use Alby on Chrome )
