Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? (sh.itjust.works)

matrix is #room:matrix.org and @username:matrix.org

why does lemmy use [email protected] or @[email protected] ? it looks like email.

I am no dev of lemmy, but traditionally, to connect remotely to a computer it was [email protected]. The mail addresses simply use this pattern. It's nice for Lemmy to use it, and I'd say ot would have been nicer for matrix to use it (not that I really care)
