For those who are setting up personal cloud relays:

1) Trolls will `@` their way onto your relay. It's a loophole you should be careful about using.

2) Overuse of blastr will result in relays black-listing or rate-limiting you as spam, and will result in your notes being spread too wide, to keep things up to date or use delete persistently.

3) Use relay-syncing, where possible, including with the personal relays of your frens, relays from your geographic area, or with topical relays like christpill or an OtherStuff relay like thecitadel. But avoid anything too spammy or otherwise gross.

4) Assume that zap comments and reactions from people not on your whitelist might be lewd or threatening. (I know, how desperate can they be, but it be.) Just thought you should know; don't know of any reasonable way of mitigating that, yet. And I guarantee that those zaps are only 1 sat.

5) Consider also having a relay on a device you control, like a laptop. Then you can work offline and sync with your cloud relay, when you go back online. (And this online/offline syncing is the next phase of relay development, and will open up some nifty new use cases, so you'll be ahead of the curve.)
