In Lemmy my user is @[email protected]. Is there a reason for this double usage of @?

I would like to suggest that we start using tilde (~) as the prefix for usernames just to make it a bit more readable.

Meaning my username would be [email protected]

    I agree it looks a little strange when we’re used to seeing email IDs, but Mastodon uses the same username format so there is a precedent. It might be too difficult to change such a fundamental feature in Lemmy at this point to make it worthwhile.
