Where is the #Fediverse "#handle" syntax, @[email protected], formally defined? I don't see it in the W3C #ActivityPub spec, nor in #RFC7565, the #Webfinger 'acct' URI scheme spec. Is it a #Mastodon convention which became universal? I am writing software to study handles, and I would rather base it on a spec than a social convention.

not long ago there was lobbying for #emojiβs in #RFC7565 #handleβs iirr.
