@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 😅
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m thinking of generally the case of solving the of “bad data” when ti comes to @-mentions, typos, wrong urls and so on. In general if a client can validate an alias/mention (yes yarnd has a similar thing where we maintain a similar mapping per user and have lookup for that), then we can avoid this whole “bad data” mess in the first place. I’d also be interested to know what folks like @anth@a.9srv.net was thinking too when he mentioned the use of WebFinger. Anyway we’ll see how this pans out, yarnd (at least my pod) now has an experimental webfinger endpoint where you can do for example $ webfinger prologic@twtxt.net
