[tantek] I'm curious, how is @-mentioning web sites by domain, like in https://tantek.com/2025/216/t1/finished-skyline50k-ultra , working out for you?

(and congrats btw!)

[snarfed] it's making sense for me, as a writer, both as a shorter form than "https://" and as a way of indicating I'm referring to an actual "entity" (person, org, etc.) rather than just a random domain/link. IMO it's also much more readable as "plain text" since Twitter educated the planet about @-mentions.

like @-mentions are just part of "normal" text punctuation now. as are #-hashtags.
#
[tantek]
and thanks!
#
[snarfed]
love it, interesting to hear

anything else, e.g. whether or not the @-mentioned domain accepts webmentions is an incremental "bonus" on top of the easier to write / easier to read advantage IMO
