manlycoffee, 
Question, because I'm trying to make the right decision:
why do some Fediverse software seem to mangle the URL of users?
On Mastodon, you can simply go to https://<domain name>/@<username>@<another domain name>
But on Pixelfed, for example, it becomes http://<domain name>/i/web/profile/<a string>.
Is there a security reason?
I have nothing against either decision.
I'm asking because I'm currently exploring the idea of implementing my own Fediverse software, and I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons.
