I guess if you have usernames in a shared namespace with system components this'd make sense - it's not something I'd consider a feature. consider: website.or

I guess if you have usernames in a shared namespace with system components this'd make sense - it's not something I'd consider a feature.
consider:
website.org/aloha
website.org/contact
website.org/u/aloha
website.org/users/aloha
users.website.org/aloha
u.website.org/aloha
aloha.website.org
with the first two examples, yes, there is a potential for collision - so you'd want something like this.
I consider the next four examples to be best - the final example I consider potentially administratively painful depending on implementation.
- 33degrees 9y agoHaving usernames as subdomains is relatively common, and it does seem like this list has that use case in mind (see the variations on www)
- WorldMaker 9y agoDon't forget the ancient classic: website.org/~aloha Mastodon's interesting approach: website.org/@aloha
- Aloha 9y agoyeah, I neglected those. I still use ~ on a couple web servers I administer, easy way for me to give people a sandbox attached to their user.
