@J12t I find the @foo@bar.com syntax annoying and ignore it whenever I think I can get away with it.

@lucasgonze What would you prefer?

@J12t No leading "@". It is not self-explanatory.

@lucasgonze Personally I believe @foo@bar.com, foo@bar.com, and https://bar.com/~foo should all lead to the same thing.

@J12t The antipattern is inventing a scheme in order to flag the type, like mastodon:foo@bar.com

The dyspattern is a well-known server, like mastodon.org://foo@bar.com

The worst of all possible worlds is signaling that you are just breaking shit, like ^foo@bar.com.
