Ability to tag people
Questions & SuggestionsThink things like TikTok (@username) Yt (@username) Reddit (u/username) discord (@username#0000), we could have something similar to this, so if we had a post we wanted to show someone, instead of dming them, just do something like @username

I don't approve. Trust me you don't want this on Moot it would be horrible.
There would be a cool down for tagging people, like if you wanted to tag the same person twice you would have to wait a few mins, and people can chose to silence @‘s if they so please
Cool downs wouldn't be an appropriate or workable system.
And the thing about silencing @'s is too fiddly. Ability to silence specific people, and a list of who you have silenced would all be too much.
If you don’t want @‘s from certain people, it’s usually for a reason you would wanna block someone, also not trying argue but just asking, when you say fiddly, do you mean for the devs or the users
Both. But more the users. I've put consideration into this and I think Moot is not the right place for the system. It's a bunch of teens, the toxicity, the use of @s in terms of how it applies to witch hunting, harassment, etc. Bad idea.
True, but I don’t think you’ve seen tiktok, that place is a hell hole of toxic kids and teens
It would better the "share" feature which I find useless anyway.
