I updated my relays to the 15 listed by a "highly recommended" by a top user. Remember? 

So much for that. How'd you get so lucky? You get NO reply guys reacting to your stuff when you open Amethyst? Pfft 

I have tried 3 desktop browser signers. All of them trash. I would ask them to "remember this action & do not ask again" on certain things, and it would act like I wasn't signed in. Then for things I wanted to do (zap a note or like something), it wouldn't do shit, and not ask. 

Again, seems like the people who started out last year or earlier just have it made, and have no problems, so every problem a newbie has, "Oh that's no problem for me" and "you're doing nostr rong lol / use a different client dummy," etc.
 

 I'm on two kinds special relays. They aren't open to everyone. They were developed specifically because of the issues that people are having currently. 

Before I switched over, I blocked the reply guys via word blocking, but that's not as nice as cutting them off at the relay side, for sure. 

I have come to the conclusion that I do need to run my own relay. I'm not able to do that yet.
