↳ In-reply-to » @darch I kind of agree that we can probably omit the nick part in mentions entirely. Since they can be looked up and cached, there's no need for this. But we'll have to spec this all up. First let's see what @lyse and @movq and others like @anth thing about finally formalising a standard way to lookup feed URI(s) and define a slightly more saner? @-mention syntax/usage pattern. I for one hate manually typing out (for example) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> like this @darch 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmmm.

So you’re suggesting to make prologic@twtxt.net the “primary identifier” of a user, right? That’s the string that I would configure in my twtxt client when I want to follow someone. Then when my client fetches the feed, it first does a webfinger lookup to find the feed URL and the nickname. (Or maybe this only immediately after adding the user to my client and then maybe update it every now and then.)

Did I understand correctly so far? 😅
