       For the love of...If someone asks someone a question in a medium with notification pings, and explicitly does not ping them, don't hecking immeidately ping them with "^" yourself.I did what I did for a reason.

       Honestly... I think the at-mention model of stuff in slack and discord et al is a giant antipattern and I hate it.It used to be you could mention people by name and if the way that sparked notifications bothered the recipient they could change it. I personally had a pretty complicated series of rules that decided when I got notified and when I didn't on IRC.But now it's just "Notifications: On or Off" and that's largely billed as a usability feature because the speaker knows unless you've completely squashed notifications that if they type this magic invocation, you're getting the notification.The sender should not have deciding power on your notification state.

       Or more simply: modern chat systems give the power to the speaker and not the listener and that's backwards.
