 Yeah, that is not what NIP-65 is for. You should only put there the relays that OTHERS should use to find your posts and to send notifications to you. It's about everybody else. 

The General List is more like for yourself and Amethyst will send your posts to those as well.  
 ok, so its like how gossip has write vs outbox and read vs. inbox. so im 'secretly' reading from damus and nos just in case, but i want others to find or tag me elsewhere.

but also putting general into kind3, which gossip doesnt do.. 🤔

so ya ok, i guess general wont be going away then cause very necessary to have the 5-6 classifications that gossip has and nip65 only has read/write/both

 
 btw, draft7 of nip66 now publishing to relaypag.es and monitorlizard.nostr1.com if you want to check em out.  @sandwich and I think this is gonna help a lot finding relays with different characteristics, distributed via nostr events, very futuristic stuff that has been brewing since 2023.  I'll be tagging relaytools hubs relays #soon with those relay categories you bootstrapped..

 It was technically late 2022 was when I started exploring NIP-66, and fiatjaf expedited its development indirectly with a grant.
