Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? (self.fediverse)

For anyone who can't read that many words at once: URI means identifier and URL means locator.

Matrix does not mix the roles of its URIs beyond the ability to attempt to reach that homeserver through NOT ONLY DNS but also through routing between homeservers. Matrix, unlike this garbage, actually wants to support ephemeral homeservers and such as well.

Sadly these web technology fucks cannot get their heads even a centimeter further towards the exit of their anus to even risk beginning to care about how garbage their architectures are.
