I think that’s a kbin thing, where any time you reply to a comment, your comment includes an @ to that comment’s author. I think the only one they intended to “ping” was butterface
Oh, interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. Side note: entries… I hope kbin adopts better language for what to call Reddit-like posts (articles), Twitter-like microblog posts (posts), and comments (entries?). I never would have guessed entries == comments. Maybe this is ActivityPub-specific naming? It reminds me of a past job where we surfaced internal technical names as the names of products and features… it just confused customers.

Not a kbin thing… might be an extension though. I’m on kbin and no automatic mention was added to the top of this comment when I replied to you.
It’s a setting (default off) called
Add mention tags in entriesunder the “Writing” subsection.Weird, I didn’t change that setting but I’m pinging everyone. I thought it was a kbin default.
The option below the one I listed is for when you comment on “microblog” stuff. That one is default on.
I went to settings and turned it all off. Didn’t see that there the last time I tweaked settings. Must be new! Kudos to ernest.
