 All amethyst users have that option. It can be their local Citrine instance. 
 That requires way too much work for a newb or even a filthy casual like me to do to get that functionality. IMO.  
 If setting up a relay is too much work, Nostr will never work. We might as well just keep using a centralized Twitter, because nostr won't be much different. 

We have to figure out a way anyone can do. 
 I very much agree with your first statement. 

But... Just using nostr as a Twitter clone shouldn't need a server to run a relay. (And I don't think relays should be on phones, generally, since it has a pretty bad effect on battery and network performance in my understanding.)  
 A free & easy experience should be subpar to some degree, and everything else should be enticing enough to either learn it, pay for it, or both. The old paradigm needs to be replaced. 

The local relay hasn't been a bad ux from my experience. I had a few quirks at first, nothing unexpected though. It's only gping to improve from here too.  
 I don't think it should be sub-par. Limited, maybe, but not confusing, convoluted, and poorly documented.  
 At the rate of innovation, those things are inevitable until something resembling "what works" can emerge. I'm kind of glad there's a shortage of documentation at the moment, because most of what does exist is already outdated. Old information is worse than a lack of information sometimes😅 
 But yes, subpar in the maybe-not-so-distant future, should be limited, perhaps slower, and have annoying references to the better ux.  
 You don't have to have it on your phone. You _can_ have it on your phone. You could also just put the data someplace semiprivate, like our project team relay, or run a relay on your PC.

Nostr without relays really is just another Twitter. 
 Well, I think I get that idea now, but, it's a big ask for normies, I think.  
 We're still early days. It'll all be quite seamless.

Even the phone relay setup could just be a button you press in your client, or it could auto-setup, when you install a client. That's probably where Damus and Amethyst will be or are.

Users actually can't differentiate a client from a server, if you make the interface very smooth. 
 Most people have multiple servers running on every device and don't even notice. 
 That's what I would hope, but, at a level of efficiency that you really don't notice the network and battery on a phone.  
 But many 🌈 💯 people 🤔 believe that's the best 😀 🌈 option. 
 Won't having as many relays as users cause a problem that people need to be subscribed to an almost infinite number of relays? 
 Only the relays your follows use.

 Damus comes with a relay built in, this is all the benefits of citrine with no work. Maybe vitor will integrate it one day 😁 
 Maybe, but I would prefer to keep things separate to avoid duplicating the database in every app people use.  
 Isn’t amethyst the everything app 
 Yep, but def not the only app. :)

 That doesn't work for me, since I don't have an iPhone.  
 nostrdb will work on android if amethyst integrates it 😇 i should put together kotlin bindings… 
 That's beyond my understanding and ability. 🤷‍♂️
