↳ 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 Alright, buuuut … what do we gain from that?

You could do almost the same thing currently with just the feed URL. nick = can be read from metadata. The canonical feed URL used for twt hashing is well-defined, too (first url = in metadata).

Sorry if I’m being too dumb. 😅
