Unpopular opinion: no nostr client is giving enough importance to NIP-05 validation errors.
They should be treated as impersonation attempts and should warn the user of the risks.

Amethyst shows an error at least.
It does, yes.
But just in the profile page, and It doesn't explain what does it means nor it alerts the user about it.
Not enough, imho.

Btw, too many "unpopular opinion" lately from me!! 🤣🤣
Sorry about that.

100% agreed. I think it can be a good idea to mute users with invalid NIP-05, or at least have an optional setting to do that
I agree.
But first of all clients should alert the user itself and refuse to save a wrong NIP-05 in the profile. Newcomers often do experiments, they create several profiles/addresses, and often mix them by mistake. This sort of check would allow them to auto correct and would avoid to be muted.
Really good idea!
