@ummjackson It's not redundant because otherwise it would be impossible to tell the difference between a handle and an e-mail address. There's already a convention of writing social media handles with a @ in front.

Jackson Palmer (ummjackson@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jul-2023 03:59:16 JST Jackson Palmer Personally not a fan of the @username@instance.tld format that the fediverse uses... especially the @ at the beginning, which is entirely redundant.
Much prefer the simple instance.tld/@username format.
