@julian @thisismissem @by_caballero @cocoa_vrc Yeah, apparently Misskey still normalizes usernames as lowecase.

@hongminhee @thisismissem @by_caballero @cocoa_vrc I looked up my own investigation: https://fietkau.social/@julian/111743816431177799
I didn't get much feedback at the time, let alone clarification. I think I wrote this down somewhere else in relation to a Misskey fork (it might have been Iceshrimp) where it spawned a bit more discussion, but I can't find it. I hope it wasn't in the shuttered Iceshrimp Matrix channel.

Any #WebFinger experts around? I could use clarification on something. It seems that there is a convention among WebFinger endpoint implementers on the fediverse that usernames are case-insensitive. The following queries all return my profile: https://fietkau.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:julian@fietkau.social https://fietkau.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:JULIAN@fietkau.social https://fietkau.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:jUlIaN@fietkau.social This mirrors conventions from the email world and is probably fine for server owners to do. But as I understand, it's not mandatory. (1/3)
