In-reply-to » 🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

@prologic@twtxt.net I say we should find a way to support mentions with only url, no nick, as per the original spec.

  • For @<nick url> we already got support
  • For @<nick> the posting client should expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should just render it as @nick with no link.
  • For @<url> the sending client should try to expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should try to find or construct a nick base on:
    1. Look in twtxt.txt for a nick =
    2. Use (sub)domain from URL
    3. Use folder or file name from URL
