Do you know why Ligthing Addresses look like Email Addresses? I mean how can you distinguish them without context?

Is not something that have to be implemented. Is already. You can do it yourself, if you have a web page, just use that HTML code. Other webmasters, just have to use that HTML code.

I don't give a shit about "your fixes"... Stop trolling useless shit.

Not trolling Darth - I'm genuinely trying to help you here.

I know you only dispense wisdom and have no ability to receive it, but if you only could take off the blinders for a second - what I'm saying could help you a lot.

Ok, but that still seems error prone to me, especially outside of html. I think it would be better if they were easier to distinguish. I could even imagine that someone has already tried to send an email to a LN address.

Alby has that problem. The convention they established so that their browser extension can figure out the difference is to prefix the Lightning address with "⚡", so then when it looks at a Twitter profile, or a description in a Youtube video and sees:

nym@stacker.news

it knows that is a Lightning address and it makes it a one-click step then to send that user a tip.
