this patch works a little better, but still needs a fediverse client to
capture the 'send toot' case

Title:
  gnome-terminal misreads a fediverse identifier as an email

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On the fediverse ( the free software social media network of networks
  - https://jointhefedi.com/ ) the identifier format is

  @username@hostname

  unlike email which is

  username@hostname

  What happens:

  if you have a fediverse user displayed in your terminal, gnome-
  terminal deduces that it is an email and if you right click it, you
  are given the option to 'Copy Mail Address' and 'Send Mail To' instead
  of just 'Copy'

  What should happen:

  You should, instead, be given the option to 'Copy Fedi Address' (and,
  better yet, optionally 'Send DM To') instead of just 'Copy'.  Possibly
  including the 'Copy Mail Address', for backwards compatibility
