    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 entries under the “Writing” subsection.

          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.

        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.

          Yes, there needs to be a glossary somewhere to get people up to speed, or some kind of on-boarding process. It’s also plausible that some of the naming conventions are from translation weirdness, and, as you say, backend Activitypub naming conventions that frontend users don’t normally see.

          I made a magazine (aka a community, aka a sub[reddit]) specifically so I could play around with kbin to figure things out. Right now, trial and error is all we have, as I imagine all the devs are more busy with more technical issues than naming conventions.
