I'm quietly really pleased with having been the mover for this change in @fedify.

Too many ActivityPub servers have put usernames in Actor URLs and it creates a complete mess when wanting to allow users to change their usernames, and created other confusion when you had non-user Actors that you wish to federate.

Here's the PR that prompted the change: github.com/dahlia/fedify/pull/

Relatedly, because I was sure we had documentation on this, but we couldn't find it (I asked at issue triage today), I've opened an issue to get a proper primer page for Actor URIs/IDs va usernames + URLs.
