Replace or clarify sidebar webbie with something that can't be mistaken by an e-mail

Ni!

I know this has been discussed before (though I couldn't find an issue here), but it still happens that people try to contact me by e-mail using the webbie user@server that appears on my channel's sidebar, leading to failure since that's not my e-mail address (nor do I want it to be an alias).

If we agree this is a problem, I see three solutions:

  1. replace it by the channel URL, as that's also a valid ID for both Zot and ActivityPub.
  2. replace it by the less ambiguous @user@server syntax used by ActivityPub (I assume that works with zot as well, but haven't checked).
  3. add text or signs to clarify that it is not an e-mail address.

I disfavor 3 because it's very hard to communicate that in a language-independent way. I'm indifferent between 1 and 2.
