What does @me mean in a link and how is it handled?

Question

URL Handling

Hello everyone, how is @me used in the url, for example: https://discord.com/channels/@me . On the server, the user himself somehow turns out, but how can this happen?

Answer 1

By and large - does not mean anything and is not processed in any way. There can be any set of characters that are valid in a URL. The server just by authorization information (cookie, token, etc.) understands which user is accessing the page and displays his data, the address does not participate in this in any way.
