I'll just have to manually prune them later I guess.
Vitor told me using anymore than 3 relays on amethyst was "punishing" myself and my followers so I went and pruned most of the relays.
Now this.
It was only a few months ago when they decided to make Amethyst connect to 400+ relays at a time for "censorship resistance"
Which was essentially a DDoS on all the small relays with every Amethyst user flooding them at once, not surprised when I look through the relay list 99% of the relays I've used have been offline since then
