@kopper is the above wrong or misleading anywhere. do they really force you to construct a json-ld by hand before sending. i will tell you that that is a textbook problem in group messaging crypto and if ap really actually forces you to unbatch everything into json-ld to send i will be shocked and appalled

literally the format everyone understands to specify username hosted at domain
"what if someone tries to email it thinking it's an email" right so they remember your handle with domain flawlessly but don't remember whether it was an email address or fedi account. sherlock holmes please give me a clue
@hipsterelectron we could integrate email into it! your fedi handle is also a valid email address
i do think it's really cute how mastodon decided to actually break twitter/every website's URL conventions and put the @ in the URL for the username. "don't break the web"
also if you haven't successfully written an incremental markdown parser used by experts for the past decade+ you are not invited to the table where we discuss the appropriate penance measured in eons of flaming hellfire for adding another @ symbol in a grammatically superfluous location which STILL fails to disambiguate the end of the handle from any suffixed punctuation
@hipsterelectron isnt there other systems that also piggy back on email handles, like I think ActiveDirectory from M$ does so
