“Thanks, I’m 300 tokens short for rent this month.”

Mastodon just adds the username in the comment when replying to a Lemmy post or comment. It seems to be possible to remove the @-tag manually, but many people don’t do that.

P.S. This also kinda illustrates how people tend to reply to the imaginary correspondent, even with rather rude language, when actually their replies go to the OP.
