Hey fedifolks! I was hoping to get some bikeshedding feedback on a new we're working on at .

tl;dr we want objects to link to URLs for alternate ways to load them. Right now I'm debating between putting them in `alsoKnownAs` or into the `url` field. e.g. `"alsoKnownAs": ["ipns://staticpub.mauve.moe"]` for @mauve@staticpub.mauve.moe

I worry that field is already in use and that it could cause trouble. Would a new field name be better? Maybe `alternateURL`?

@mauve @mauve I think url is better. alsoKnownAs is used for account migrations and has a slightly different meaning in Fediverse (different objects controlled by the same entity).

Perhaps FEP-fffd is suitable for your use case?

Or FEP-ef61 which I'm currently working on.

@silverpill These are great. I didn't know I could place anything but a string under URL. Setting it as alternate with the AP mime type seems like a good solution
