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.
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.

Ah til, thanks for taking the time to enumerate that for me!
I’m on Mastodon. I don’t need the @s . I delete them from my auto populated comments.
The threading turns out fine
@bigMouthCommie good to know! Maybe it’s just at my end that it gets messed up.
