@M137 yeah. It’s because I’m on Kbin which auto-populates an @ in the reply field (this is because Kbin federates/interacts with Mastodon as well as the Lemmys, and Mastodon uses @s).
Sometimes I’m lazy and don’t remove it, and sometimes I do it on purpose because threading is still a bit hit and miss and it helps me keep track of who I’m replying to.
@Truffle yes. Especially Clydesdales. When they kick each other you can feel the ground shake like a small earthquake.
Did you just @ the person you’re replying to…? All my years of reddit and lemmy I’ve never seen someone do that.
its a fediverse phenomenon. Mastodon users @ by default

@M137 btw here’s an example of some mastodon users interacting on a kbin thread. @s are the only way they can see who is replying to whom.
