@pixelfed Neat! I've often wished I could easily @ mention someone on Mastodon without pinging them. I mean, you can always post a link, but outside of certain clients, that usually takes readers to a page outside the instance they're signed into, so they can't interact with it without that annoying copy-paste rigmarole.

Of course, the ability to @ mention someone you *do* want to ping is still nice, but I suspect that's easier to work around: Just DM pingee a link to the discussion.
