   @cwebber I've been looking at the ActivityPub spec and I can't figure out how to get from an address like "AT ted AT gould.cx" to "https://social.gould.cx/@ted". It seems like ActivityPub takes over after you have that URL, but there is something before it. Could you give me a kick in the right direction please?

      @ted @cwebber there's no standard for it. Mastodon and Pleroma use WebFinger, but that's just a convention.

         @lain @cwebber that's a good pointer. I wasn't sure what the "AcitivityPub way" is, or whether those were just older protocols supported.

            @ted @cwebber see this somewhat baffling thread for the reason why there is no "activitypub way" in this case: https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/20

               @lain @ted A) ActivityPub addressing is based on URIs. We don't specify the URI type though obviously https:// is most popular. ActivityPub is web-centric in that way.
               B) You can use webfinger theoretically then also by doing acct:foo@bar.example though the RFC for acct: is kinda goofy
