+			A <strong>Fediverse ID</strong> is an identifier that conceptually is usually used to point to a <strong>person</strong>, but also can be conceptually used to point to an <strong>application</strong>, a <strong>group</strong>, a <strong>organization</strong>, a <strong>service</strong>, or any types of entities.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			Here are some sample <strong>Fediverse ID</strong>s:
+		</p>
+		<ul>
+			<li>@joeblow@example.com</li>
+			<li>@name@host</li>
+			<li>@reiver@mastodon.social</li>

+		<h2>Resemblance With E-Mail Addresses</h2>
+		<p>
+			A <strong>Fediverse ID</strong> looks similar to an <strong>e-mail address</strong>.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			The main superficial difference being that a <strong>Fediverse ID</strong> starts with an <strong>at sign</strong> (“@”) (Unicode character U+0040), but an e-mail address does not.
