 Removed Damus relay as an experiment. I still have Primal and Nostr.band relays, and use Blastr. Will I notice any difference? 
 Prob have faster client now ser

Less overhead with one less connection that'll just rate-limit you anyway  
 Everything Everywhere All at Once. 
 you prob will notice that the 60% of nostr using damus will drop off your reach bubble 
 I’m seeing your posts and I’m not using nostr.band or primal in Nos which doesn’t yet have outbox support.

 I left my other relays configured for now. I may remove more to pare my list down but wanted to start by seeing the difference of removing Damus since it’s such a popular one. 
 We need to do more relay experiments 
 💯 I built my relay list fairly haphazardly back when I joined and haven’t really paid much attention to it. I checked today and 25% of my relays weren’t even connecting any more, so I decided to start experimenting with them starting with this. 
 The biggest thing I noticed when I did that was scrolling global is very different. 
 I gave up on global long ago 😂 and neither primal nor Nostur has a global feed anyway
