mlowdi@pettter OK, so this is how federation works? Double-@? Why not bang notation? Tried and tested.
pettter ✅@mlowdi Double-@? [email protected] should be sufficient, but it might depend on how mastodon does stuff.
@pettter It prefixes an @ before pettter. Looks funny. :D
I would actually have liked social.umahackerspace.se!pettter but then again some of my earliest memories are of Stockholm Uni's VAXes...
@mlowdi Haha, yeah the UID string thing has been a topic of fierce discussion some time back. (FIERCE DISCUSSION)
I missed out on the whole VAX era.. Went straight DOS -> Win -> Debian Potato

@pettter [Ferocity intensifies]
The @-sign is an accounting symbol and should not be used to denote network locations!!!!1
@mlowdi It was more like "This is a WEB standard! We should use server.com/user for UIDs! URLs FOREVER EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! FUCK USER INTUITIONS!"
@pettter User intuition is waaaay overvalued. For instance, people can remember the subtle differences between *nix and BSD style flags just fine.
