What's the deal with people putting the lemmy @user in their comments when they're replying to that person? I see AJ doing it, and elsewhere on lemmy it seems everyone is doing it.
Twitter used to do the same thing in reply tweets. Since mastodon basically just does what twitter did, they decided to clone that feature too. On mastodon, Lemmy posts just look like really long tweets a lot of the time, but with the magic of federation they can reply here too.
It is quite annoying when it gets deep and comments begin with 20 different @'s, but it's just something mastodon does and I don't think they can control it
@Baku @dumblederp
Replying from Mastodon here. Sorry to be annoying, I like Federation ๐
Hello from the other side! Although annoying (sometimes), federation is quite cool. Plus you have some of my favourite people - Philip Mallis, Daniel Bowen, and I think Marcus Wong even has a profile over there!
I will be honest, I don't understand the appeal of reading the DT from elsewhere, but whatever floats your boat
@Baku yeah it is a bit weird and disjointed but I just like the fact that I *can* do it, even if it is sub-optimal.
