I agree with you here. However I'd like to be able to maintain some indication that the username is from Twitter just so context isn't lost. How would you feel about <username>
or [username]
?

| or |[username]|?
Either is fine: the notation might not be self-evident but one can imagine the meaning with some effort, and most importantly it's not misleading in any case I could think of.
I think #114 will fix this. The handles will appear as @username
in toots but expand to placeholder pages for the twitter accounts.
I confirm this is working well for me: https://framapiaf.org/@wikimediaitalia/103392500066037488 In some cases the handle is not recognised as such: https://framapiaf.org/@wikimediaitalia/103403882174466542 (it's a less popular one, perhaps twitter.activitypub.actor was not aware of it yet).
I undid the work of #114 because I didn't like how inconsistent the result is.

Ok, fair enough. Thank you for keeping an eye on this!
Meanwhile, I'd be happy for Twitter usernames to be rendered simply as naked, plain text @handle
without the @twitter.com
suffix, like e.g. EFF does with twit2mast. https://mastodon.social/@eff/103726330956702354
Am I the only one? I can't stand certain users' posts which mention sometimes a dozen users at once. :) https://framapiaf.org/@wikimediaitalia/103691024756878132
OK I dropped the twitter suffix completely. Let me know if its better for you.
Yes! Thank you. https://framapiaf.org/@wikimediaitalia/104115143496985668
I've been using Moa for almost a year and it's been a great success, thank you!
Some users on Twitter like to mention a lot of people at once (Twitter's own composer autosuggests a lot of mentions). This can result in toots like this (or worse):
I don't like "@twitter.com" being all over the place in my Mastodon feed, I wonder if anyone else feels so too. I understand that @user@twitter.com has a complicated history for purposes of export to Twitter (issue #53, issue #4), but is there any good reason to keep it in imported tweets? Is there any expectation that Mastodon will some day treat those similarly to federated mentions?
Personally I would be happy with (the option of) just stripping the mention altogether (
@user
becomesuser
), or translating it to a hashtag (@Altroconsumo
becomes#Altroconsumo
instead of@Altroconsumo@twitter.com
).
