(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.)

@jon It still bothers me that @matrix did not adopt this scheme.

@fell @jon Hot take but I like how Matrix uses colons, it distinguishes the types of software at a glance, so you never have to specify which one is the chat app and which one is the social media

@luna i like "/", because its like "on" if you say ⅞ as "7 on 8". @user/example.site

but the ship has totally sailed so it'll probably be @...@... forever

@irina @luna the other problem with / is that it's precisely opposite to how / is used in URLs — as in example.site/user
