   Hey @gargron, you may want to look at this; an "acct:" prefix is being appended when it shouldn't https://quitter.se/notice/11231698

     @gargron This happened to me but didn't mind it. But if this guy says that "Mastodon doesn't work with Quitter", more people will.

     @gargron This is probably something worth notifying to @mmn too?

     @mmn @gargron There's yet another problem: why do underscores in usernames get removed on GNU Social? https://quitter.se/notice/11235836

     @espectalll @mmn @gargron in tags, put an underscore it's the same that no to put it. Maybe with names happens the same

     @thefaico @espectalll @mmn Someone very early in development of StatusNet decided that underscores weren't important, so GS completely ignores them. a___b is the same as ab for GS. I never understood why, so Mastodon treats underscores verbatim.

     @gargron @mmn @thefaico So that's weird. Chances are, this won't change in the short-term, right? That's a legit problem...

     @espectalll @gargron @mmn could it be that difficult to change it?

     @thefaico @mmn @gargron Consider, up until this point, you could create accounts with the "same" name but different amounts of underscores.

     @espectalll @gargron @mmn could be a problem to follow people on a same instance on Mastodon. But in gnusocial there aren't accounts with underscores on its nick (I guess), so if added that verbatim treatment that should be resolve the problem, right?

     @espectalll I fixed that in master and nightly. The acct: URI is normalised and remote subscribes work for anyone who has updated that. Maybe @hannes2peer wants to merge this on #quitter.se: https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/commit/388655d19b29524f7f501b092e56ece6bd05d19c and https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/commit/2744bdcdb76e5d8affa7c54a583effadb7b1430d
     
     @Gargron I never understood underscore filtering either (but that's not the issue in this thread). But then again #Gmail ignores (at least) dots in their usernames, so there's obviously some sort of use to it (less confusion for example: a_____b vs a____b <- who is who?).

     @mmn @hannes2peer @thefaico @gargron BTW, about the underscores thing, they actually stopped us from following people on Mastodon.

     @hannes2peer @mmn @thefaico @gargron For instance, on an instance with Qvitter, type an address like ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social.

     @hannes2peer @mmn @thefaico @gargron Not even removing the underscore will make it work. But using the profile URL instead will work.
