.well-known seems unintuitive
Also the penalty isn't very high here. Someone impersonated a domain on a burgeoning protocol for a short while. So what?

We're talking about folks setting up a custom domain for a personal social media presence. If they can handle nameservers and DNS records, they can handle a folder with a dot in the name.
but it disappears when you add the dot.
They can and probably should but what if they decide not to?
That's the problem with expecting people to agree with and follow standards.
If they decide not to, then they get all the capabilities, responsibilities, and level of participation that come with not following a standard that others are expecting.
You've effectively described what happens when people don't agree.
