always wondered this, but kept forgetting to post it
eg users would be on @grant@toast.ooo
and a community would be on @canvas@group.toast.ooo
or something like that
then it would still follow the AP spec but still allow for identical identifiers (like a user account being @sc07@toast.ooo
and a community also being !sc07@toast.ooo
)
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed
@sc07@group.toast.ooo
on mastodon it would for sure follow !sc07@toast.ooo and not @sc07@toast.ooo (an account with the same identifier)
