Hey @threads, consider adding a rel=http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page entry to your WebFinger. It makes it easier to find human-readable profile pages from a fediverse handle. The profile URL that goes with a handle is hardly secret.
I don't think so. rfc7033#section-4.4.4 says "URI link relation type values are compared using the "Simple String Comparison" algorithm", but these two URLs aren't the same according to that algorithm, which does not include HTTP GET operations.
You can do discovery of the Actor endpoint (links rel=self type="application/activity+json") and then use the "url" property of the returned actor. That doesn't require platform-specific code; it's part of the ActivityPub spec.
