@mbajur Ah yes, I’ve seen many people with single-user instances use something like @me@named.domain, which is super unfortunate because quoting them will show “@me”.
I think what you want to do has a lot of value here … so I guess the steps are:
1) implement webfinger to resolve @domain to the one actor, and @user@domain to point *to the same actor* (so you can mention them on platforms that don’t yet implement the new style quotes)
2) Publish an FEP about this new webfinger extension

@mbajur I’m just a little afraid of the case where you are replying to a toot that uses @domain nicks, because it might happen that they are dropped
It would be interesting to test whether mastodon links to people in replies by their href already, or whether it tries to do (cached) webfinger again when you hit reply, because if they use the href from the previous toot it could already work in replies.

@mbajur The other problem, as you can see above with @me is that if mastodon finds a nick on the local server, they will link it automatically, though I think you could argue that this is a misfeature from past times (it does not even open a dropdown)
