It's not just the relays you use. It's ALL relays that are publicly writeable. If you care about privacy, use a VPN or TOR.
Periodic reminder that your relays see absolutely EVERYTHING you do on Nostr. Regardless of which Client you use. They literally see the app downloading zaps, replies, and reactions when you scroll your posts in real time.
So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that you TRUST THEM with that information.
Nostr is just like a browser. The server has to know what you want to see to send it to you, and that gives them the power to track you and see what you are asking for. There is no way around it.
I can't stress this enough.
