Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the human-readable handle or user name an account is known by on its service — the screen name a reader would type or recognize.

Avoid when

• Avoid for cryptographic or protocol identifiers (use gmeow:nostrPubkey, gmeow:nip05, or gmeow:activityPubActor) and for the holder's personal name (use the name layer on gmeow:Agent).

How to use

• Carry the handle as a literal on the OnlineAccount; where the handle is itself sensitive (a pseudonymous account linkable to a person), mark the account with gmeow:hasSensitivity so disclosure control can withhold it.

Examples

• ex:lillithMastodon gmeow:accountName "@lillith@fosstodon.org".
