For anyone else reading this… What @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com is talking about here is a re-introduction of the @foo@domain syntax which we’re going to dub “Yarn Handle” (unless anyone else has a better name?)

That is a mention of @prologic@twtxt.net (for example) does a lookup on https://twtxt.net for a special meta tag of <meta name="yarn-uri" context="/user/%s/twtxt.txt" /> and uses this to automatically expand the mention to its proper Twtxt form of @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> 👌
