Micro.blog friends: is there a convention yet for identifying a username on another service where the domain isn’t included in the username (as it is on Mastodon)? E.g., if I wanted to mention someone who is on Twitter but not on M.b, is there something like @dancohen[twitter]?
@dancohen I’m not aware of any conventions, but in my CMS I use twitter:@handle, fb:@handle, etc. It’s easy to type, easy to parse, and doesn’t conflict with any existing schemes I’m aware of (plus, it’s URI like, though not compliant — it would need to be twitter:/@handle to be compliant, but that’s just too verbose). My CMS parses those and replace them with appropriate links.
