Gigi (nprofile…s2s2) 's post about broken follow list yesterday made me notice odd behavior in my own follow list. Unable to follow and unfollow people. Turns out there was a random client tag that had somehow snuck into the list and was causing most clients to error (silently) when trying to update my list.
I think all nostr devs need to up their defensive coding game. We have to assume that we're going to be sent malformed (and even dangerous) data and handle it gracefully.
