Not really from a design standpoint since a single company/team dictates the schema. Interoperability is not on their mind.
In the case if nostr, people are not using tags not just for content discovery, they are using them for application logic.

all social media IS a serialized string. Unless one could search within their own posts using a keyword or hashtag. Blogs are a little different because there is a sidebar that organizes posts by month and year.
- dunno what you mean by on nostr people use tags for application logic.
interoperability is a good word. There should be more interoperability between the good apps. Like reddit + nostr = roster hehe
Interoperability and plain text is great, that’s not the argument I’m making. Application logic is how arrays are used to encode things that are application specific in the arrays of notes.
["p", "
["e", "
["r", "wss://relay.example.com", "read"]
["r", "wss://other.relay.com", "write"]
["p", "
To your point, is nostr a messaging protocol or a social media protocol or a payments protocol or an identity protocol or a publishing protocol. Hard to be all of them all at once.
sooo the tags in the snippet of code are what, and do what? How is it an example of application logic?
oh I actually think it’s a very flexible protocol. You can use it for anything.
