During registration for FediForum (which is coming up again, by the way!) we are asking people for their social web handles:

Here is a selection of what they give us when they probably mean ActivityPub

@foo@bar
AP: @foo@bar
https://bar/@foo
foo@bar
foo (???)
acct:foo@bar

Is it time to define a canonical version?

Perhaps there could also be a canonical, clickable HTML version.

Just a thought.

Cheers,




Johannes.
