In Lemmy my user is @[email protected]. Is there a reason for this double usage of @?
I would like to suggest that we start using tilde (~) as the prefix for usernames just to make it a bit more readable.
Meaning my username would be [email protected]
It’s a the double @ seems to be a general fediverse thing.
Looks like it’s because you’re a @user (inspired by Twitter maybe), as opposed to a #topic or a !community
I understand that, but I believe duplicating the @ in a username is confusing. With ~ we could have #topic, !community, ~user and @server
Love this idea, more Unix like
