I’ve definitely noticed it bugs some people. I wonder if those people maybe just don’t understand why it’s happening, combined with it looking silly on Lemmy when you don’t know why it’s happening? That it autopopulates just like it does on Mastodon and did on Twitter, like you said. Although, I definitely remember people getting annoyed with it on Twitter, too, lol. Anywho, you’re not hurting anybody, but it’s kind of you to offer to stop if it’s bugging them. :) Maybe a PSA about it, why it happens, and why people leave the tags in their replies, posted to a lot of different communities/magazines/topics would help?
I don’t really mind it was just a bit odd so I brought it up.
The biggest problem is it results in me getting two notifications, the first one for the comment reply, and then another one because my username has been mentioned.
It makes me feel like I’m 50% more popular than I really am
Til, this is the first time it’s come up for me. I think it’s probably best to bring my threading problem up with Kbin’s dev when he’s a bit less busy.
