How to set your domain as your handle
What the AT protocol got right is that your handle is also a url. Because it is a hostname.<p>I always thought ActivityPub should have used hostname/username instead of @username@hostname for the handle. Then they would have that advantage too. And one less char in the handle.<p>What I find a bit cumbersome with the AT protocol is that it uses DNS records to store the metadata of an identity. I wonder if it should have used a simple json file instead. So that the protocol would not look at the DNS records of a hostname for the metadata but at hostname/at_identity.json<p>That woule make it much easier for owners of a hostname to use it as their AT identity. Building tooling around the AT protocol would also get easier.
