    @gurnu @FrostyCaveman
    I think the majority of streets don’t need to be thoroughfares for cars. We could block and barricade most streets so that bicycles and pedestrians can pass through but cars can only get in and out by a single route. Anyone who isn’t visiting a home or business in that neighborhood just wouldn’t turn off of the main road. Rat running, the use of parallel side streets to avoid traffic and police speed enforcement also causes a lot of problems. #FuckCars #Urbanism

      You don’t have to mention people when replying to them, they’ll get a notification automatically.

          The thing you’re using might be doing it automatically then. Perhaps you could configure it not to do it?

            It’d probably be easier for you to just ignore the additional @format, especially now that you know why it happens (even though it annoys you). Mastodon to Lemmy communication isn’t seamless, but it’s cool that it can happen at all

            And nobody’s gonna dig through settings to find a (probably non-existent) configuration that removes the blue links, when it’s something they don’t even see. Did you check your own config to see if it could remove the @'s from Mastadon replies?

            Wayyyy easier to ignore your peeve and enjoy the upside of it all, imo

            Or block? Idk, that would be a personal choice and feels counterproductive to me

            Complete side note: I wonder if when a Mastodon user replies to a Lemmy comment that’s nested (like 10+ replies deep), does it @everyone in the comment thread? Is there a limit? I need answers, but am too ambivalent to try

            You sound like a person that does not know how to restrict themselves and in turn restricts other people from annoying them, contemplate inner peace, and then take them more active management role in controlling what affects your mood via the block button
