matrix is #room:matrix.org and @username:matrix.org

why does lemmy use !room@sh.itjust.works or @username@sh.itjust.works ? it looks like email.

i like the matrix version better

    Better question is why don’t both use a dot like URLs do because people have had 30 years of getting used to that:

    username.lemmy.world

    Plus this wouldn’t get confused with an email address.
