@DBailey635 @jon There's a RFC even, just they went with a URI compatible `acct:` instead of the popular `@`.

@DBailey635 @jon Browsers probably not, but in interfaces it could be used. Maybe a fedi post could use an acct: link in an @-mention, and the front end rewrites the link to open that profile in the instance's profile viewer. |
@chrysn @jon Cool! Although, that's more a URI scheme than an address (like mailto: vs actual email addresses), but at least it's a start. Would be interesting to see how many web-browser makers have adopted it.
