I prefer the email format, like username@example.com Double @ just look so ugly.

The problem with that format is that it had better also work as an email address, because otherwise people will be extremely confused by it.

Sure why not? Make ActivityPub work over SMTP doesn't sounds like a bad idea.

That would imply that's an email, when in fact it's just a fedi account. It's there for a reason, another one (besides accessibility) is to make it easier parsing for other instances.
