Public bug reported:
On the fediverse ( the free software social media network of networks -
https://jointhefedi.com/ ) the identifier format is
@username@hostname
unlike email which is
username@hostname
What happens:
if you have a fediverse user displayed in your terminal, gnome-terminal
deduces that it is an email and if you right click it, you are given the
option to 'Copy Mail Address' and 'Send Mail To' instead of just 'Copy'
What should happen:
You should, instead, be given the option to 'Copy Fedi Address' (and,
better yet, optionally 'Send DM To') instead of just 'Copy'. Possibly
including the 'Copy Mail Address', for backwards compatibility
