If you wish to connect with somebody on Mastodon (for instance) they can use either the 'ostatus' or the 'activitypub' protocol for communication. Generally the 'activitypub' protocol will provide a better experience than 'ostatus', but $Projectname will often choose the first protocol it discovers and this may not be the one you want. You may connect with somebody over a specific protocol by prepending the protocol name in square brackets to their "webbie".
