@M137 yeah. It’s because I’m on Kbin which auto-populates an @ in the reply field (this is because Kbin federates/interacts with Mastodon as well as the Lemmys, and Mastodon uses @s).
Sometimes I’m lazy and don’t remove it, and sometimes I do it on purpose because threading is still a bit hit and miss and it helps me keep track of who I’m replying to.
Seeing two horses fighting. The sheer size of them is enough to scare me, but getting aggresive biting and kicking was something else.
@Truffle yes. Especially Clydesdales. When they kick each other you can feel the ground shake like a small earthquake.
Did you just @ the person you’re replying to…? All my years of reddit and lemmy I’ve never seen someone do that.
its a fediverse phenomenon. Mastodon users @ by default

@M137 btw here’s an example of some mastodon users interacting on a kbin thread. @s are the only way they can see who is replying to whom.
