(#3rhsaxa) @prologic Unfortunately the RFC's are a bit light in this regard. While it makes mention of different kinds of accounts like mailto: or status services.. it never combines them. It does make mention of using redirects to forward a request to other webfingers to provide additional detail. I am kinda partial to using salty:acct:me@sour.is, yarn:acct:xuu@txt.sour.is, mailto:me@sour.is that could redirect to a specific service. and a parent account acct:me@sour.is that would reference them in some way. either in properties or aliases.

(#3rhsaxa) @xuu Hmmm

(#3rhsaxa) @prologic That was exactly my thought at first too. but what do we put as the `rel` for salty account? since it is decentralized we dont have a set URL for machines to key off. so for example take the standard response from okta: ``` # http GET https://example.okta.com/.well-known/webfinger resource==acct:bob { "links": [ { "href": "https://example.okta.com/sso/idps/OKTA?login_hint=bob#", "properties": { "okta:idp:type": "OKTA" }, "rel": "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer", "titles": { "und": "example" } } ], "subject": "acct:bob" } ``` It gives one link that follows the OpenID login. So the details are specific to the subject `acct:bob`. Mastodons response: ``` { "subject": "acct:xuu@chaos.social", "aliases": [ "https://chaos.social/@xuu", "https://chaos.social/users/xuu" ], "links": [ { "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page", "type": "text/html", "href": "https://chaos.social/@xuu" }, { "rel": "self", "type": "application/activity+json", "href": "https://chaos.social/users/xuu" }, { "rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe" } ] } ``` it supplies a profile page and a `self` which are both specific to that account.
