    Just a completely unrelated fyi here: On lemmy you don’t need to tag a user when you’re replying directly to one of their comments, they’ll automatically get a notification in their inbox.

      @_dev_null thanks, I know.

      The reason it turns up in my comments is because kbin autopopulates our comments with tags, and I don’t always remember to check where I am and delete that before I post.

      On Kbin itself they’re handy. Kbin integrates with Mastodon and those guys kind of need @tags to follow our conversation threads when they come to discuss our posts.

      And on lemmys, the @ is useful for me to keep track of who I’m saying what to anyway at times because our threading can’t handle some of the really big lemmy comment sections.
