    It looks like it’s a Webfinger implementation to parse the ActivityPub user URI. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35750312

    The @user@instance.tld format has become a convention across most if not all ActivityPub platforms. In the end the software will look up https://instance.tld/user anyway.
