always wondered this, but kept forgetting to post it

eg users would be on @[email protected] and a community would be on @[email protected] or something like that

then it would still follow the AP spec but still allow for identical identifiers (like a user account being @[email protected] and a community also being [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]))

That would make community names a bit longer so they'd be more annoying to type and share?

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 @[email protected] on mastodon it would for sure follow [email protected] and not @[email protected] (an account with the same identifier)
