The model where everyone gets a new identity for every community they join (1) largely defeats the purpose of federation (2) does not scale as people have *many* communities of interest and (3) doesn't map to our natural conception of identity.
I *hope* it's fixable. May take some convincing of Eugen, which seems hard from this vantage point.
Important note: you should NEVER do this to trailing slashes that exist in the path itself!
https://simonwillison.net/tags and https://simonwillison.net/tags/ are not technically the same URL
But... https://simonwillison.net/ and https://simonwillison.net ARE the same
And if you've decided not to display the https:// protocol, I think it looks prettier if you don't show the trailing slash either
(This is possibly the least important aesthetic preference anyone has ever expressed)
