How well do clients handle the generality of data on the Nostr protocol? What assumptions/checks do clients make on all the data fields?

I say yes. I think people sometimes forget the nature of the openness of Nostr. Unconscious interaction based applications can coexist with conscious interaction based applications.

As other have pointed out, there are advantages to having this approach that isn't brain rot. Unconscious interaction does a good job recommending users to follow, expanding your network, which is even more needed on Nostr (especially when starting out).

E.g.:

1) Start out on Nostr -> social network doesn't exist

2) Use unconscious interaction based application -> create good base of initial users to follow

3) Stop using application and move to conscious interaction based application -> no brain rot

Let me know if you're actively working on this, I may do this for my first nostr development project.

I just wanted to take notes and I somehow started learning neovim
