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 😅

@darch@neotxt.dk Hmmm … if the argument is “not all twtxt files have all required fields”, then wouldn’t this also apply to webfinger? Not all servers that host a twtxt file will also serve webfinger info. 🤔 You’d probably always have to implement some fallback mechanism.

I don’t really know anything about “indieweb”, though. I’ll have to read up on that first. 😅
