For Example:
I like the cleaness and indiewebness of using just domains for handles/shorthands similar to blusky, but the situations with more users on the same domain and that people in the fediverse (threads too?) are already familiar with the syntax speaks for webfinger. And since we already got support for webfinger in both yarnd and timeline it makes sense to stick with it.
@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.
And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger
@prologic@twtxt.net maybe you meant to specify twtxt as a type similar to ActivityPub’s application/activity+json in https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=sorenpeter@norrebro.space
{
"rel": "self",
"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://norrebro.space/users/sorenpeter"
},
Then it would also make sense to define a Link Relations but should that then link to something like https://twtxt.dev/webfinger.html where we can describe the spec?
I’ve started a draft over at: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/src/branch/main/exts/webfinger.md
@eapl.me@eapl.me A way to have a more bluesky’ish handles in twtxt could be to take inspiration from Bridgy Fed and say: If NICK = DOMAIN then only show @DOMAIN
So instead of @eapl.me@eapl.me it will just be @eapl.me
And it event seem that it will not break webfinger lookup: https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=%40darch.dk (at least not for how I’ve implemented webfinger on my sever for a single user;)
Are we talking about profile view heading, heading of posts or inline mentions?
In yarnd I recall there is a setting for changing the heading of posts, but not for the two others as of yet.
I like the hover option for inline mentions. For the other places some like how yarnd does it in two line or “ nick (domain.tld) ” could also work.
