Does #mastodon support a root level domain handles yet?

Does #mastodon support a root level domain handles yet? Like, say, user having his AP-enabled single-user website under example.com having a @example.com handle instead of @something@example.com

@mbajur I think we are trying to standardize instance actors in an FEP, but I haven't heard of pure domain actor names

@mbajur maybe what you could try to do is serve your actor activity JSON from root, but I'd wager most webfinger implementations reject handles with an empty user part

@mbajur it's also kind of hard to parse cleanly and securely because Mastodon uses @user@exanple.com and others user@example.com, so hard to distinguish what's domain and what @ you can ignore …

@Profpatsch I'm a bit confused on how to handle that in my upcoming AP project (@abelio) - every instance is a single-user instance and i'm currently using @domain.com@domain.com as a solution someone suggested to me a year ago but i find it a bit hacky and looking for a proper solution

@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
