the concept of “server actor” is still not well-defined – what makes an actor a “server actor”?

FEP-844e refers to FEP-d556 (https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/commit/14311a2932a5119810395ebee7c3e73b67c91c5b/fep/844e/fep-844e.md#discovery-through-a-well-known-endpoint), which defines “server actor” as the result of a WebFinger query for a resource identified by base URL / server prefix.

https://domain.example/

• is / always the “server actor”?
• is https://domain.example equivalent?

• / is not always a server actor.
• FEP-d556 doesn’t seem to say that https://domain.example is equivalent to https://domain.example/. I think they are equivalent, but it would be better to discuss these details in FEP-d556 discussion thread (the proposal is FINAL but we can add some minor clarifications if necessary).
