    #acctURI has a way of representing user accounts on other hosts — sort of similar to the #fingerProtocol

    For example —

    acct:reiver%[email protected]

    (Notice that the "@" in "[email protected]" gets percent-encoded as "%40".)

    #WebFinger uses acct-URIs.

    And the #Fediverse used WebFinger.

    This is how you could represent a user on one Fediverse instance being used on another Fediverse instance without necessarily having to create a new account.
