 Yes, but with nostr at least it’s possible to fix and make relays just a dumb servers that relay notes and nothing more than that 
 The fixes have to be client-side and whatever can be done in the protocol because we don't know what malicious software relays run. I am glad to see devs are exposing what the problems are and iterating on potential solutions. Sites that just want your traffic will be quiet about the vulnerabilities, especially when keeping you vulnerable is so profitable. 
 VPN or tor is the only way to obscure your IP on the internet, feel like I'm talking to a wall sometimes.  Is this just beyond most people's understanding?  Relays are already as dumb as they can possibly get. 
 You don’t have to tell me this. I’m with turned on orbot but there are not too many people like me. Vitor did it right by implementing it inside the Amethyst,  that’s what all of the mobile should do as well to make people aware and use it by default or turn off if they struggle with performance 
 Ok your note was very confusing then.. this one makes more sense.  That's right you even ran a relay and use Tor now..  it's just sad when people see a note like this and go 'wtf? Back to centralized then'.  Instead of, oh, how do I VPN? 
 Not relay yet, was lazy this weekend😅
