Jon HenshawNormalize this
(Updated: I changed Twitter to X and User to Profile. I intentionally left out Bluesky because their approach to profile naming doesn't fit this paradigm and precedent.)
Jonah Stein@jon Focus on the user and the NAMESPACE.
While mastodon.social is likely to continue using the Mastodon, ActivityPub federation is agnostic to which app the user accesses their account and the namespace (instance) may migrate from mastodon to another application.
@jonahstein right, but the namespace becomes secondary. There's no longer the decision to choose Twitter over another, which has been the norm up to this point. Media can be agnostic.
@jon In the context of Twitter, I agree. Moreover, I think it is really important that we normalize user accounts on social media being @domain just like an email addresses.
