Not saying you are wrong, since it is currently imposible to do here, but I don't think the federated nature of usernames has anything yo do with if they receive a notification or bot since over at mastodon you can tag people properly and they are notified.

I might be misunderstanding something, but you are talking about a tag (same as a private note over mastodon or a profile note in discord)
At least it looks that way because of this
Add the ability to tag users, so a title i give him will be next to his name.
What this user is asking is if you can write someone's name on a post and for that petson to receive a notification that they have been mentioned.
I keep asking but haven't gotten an answer, why must instances that block meta also block those that federate with META? Wouldn't blocking META be enough, as you wouldn't see their posta, nor users, nor comments in any way after blovking the domain?
Is this punitive or is yhere a reason I'm mising?
Jajaja I thought about that while typing it out but I still dont believe this is about EEE, Meta hasnt operated with that mindset yet in other spaces from what I know and I feel this is more that a kneejerk reaction of people not liking big corporations associating it with the idea that big corps want to kill the freedom that these spaces bring to online communities.
But I believe in the design of the fediverse and the resilience of the people, I dont think that a few platforms hoarding the big majority threaten the entirety of the fediverse, as long as people can self host their own instances since we can ensure there will always be spaces for communities like this, even in worse case scenarios like Meta just having so many features that other platforms cant compete in those terms I still feel a niche of the same people that are building this today are going to stick with it, and thus we can keep this going even if we are forced to defederate at a later date or they defederate us.
Embrace, extend and extinguish.
It was a more common tactic back in the day for tech giants to destroy competition omfor open software specifically.

Are we going to start pretending this is something new to bash on reddit?
Given the lack of context the mods might be in the right here, what is up with the expectation you can just barge up to a community and say whatever you want, there are rules for a reason.
Sure let's circlejerk
I am personally guessing it's this option, people keep saying the idea is to EEE but I don't think this would be the most effective use of Meta resources since they should be focusing yheir efforts at beating twitter.
Holy shit what is this level of cringe!!??
Instance level blocking??? This is awesome, really, thank you so much.
Did you also add a karma count when looking at people's profiles? Or was this there before and I just didnt notice?
Seriously the amount of work you are pouring into the app is impressive, and it is pretty much unrivaled at the moment.
PS: May I suggest a feature? Profile notes, where you can add a note to profiles so you can remember some people you interact with. In case it isnt clear what I mean, both Mastodon and Kbin have this feature, you go to a profile and it says "add note", there you can write something about the user that only you can see and it helps keep track of people here.
Already responded, seriously, edit your comments instead of replying twice, it is really annoying.
Emmmm, kind of disingenuous. And by that I mean a lot.
First of all, who takes the word of someone at face value that they didnt commit a crime. One thing would be a confession, which you can of course still doubt if there are proper reasons, but a defense saying "what I did is not a crime" is useless in itself.
Second, he is being disingenuous here. He mocks the loverboy methos like it is a fake accousation with no meaning behind, seriously describing it as "being nice" is sick.
If you are actually interested on why it is condemned and considered part of traficking, read the part on grooming here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking
And here is a law firm article on the matter: https://www.carlsonattorneys.com/news-and-update/loverboy-andrew-tate
Seriously though, this clip is no reply. He literally deflects the accusations "I pretended to love girls to make ticktock for money", no, that isnt the accusation, it was forcing them into porn by coercing them and placing them in situations where it is difficult to reject. The allegations are serious, one thing is to defend himself saying he didnt do it, but to try to downplay what he has been accused of (and even said himself he has done years ago) is sickening.
If you encountered a community like that, maybe they needed those, there is a reason they are there and people keep posting.
For the immaculate example, see r/askhistorians where I guarantee your answers will get removed even when properly sourced since it has to do with how tight their quality control is, which that was needed to make one of the best communities out there.
Rules are not a reddit especific thing, once communities grow bigger over here more and more will develop and perfect rules that better suit their identities, it is a necessary part of this kind of social media.
Your post kindd of reminds me of another post today where someone pointed out at 4 deleted comments, with no context and basically said "reddit doesn't respect freedom of speech, see how far mods have fallen since the blackouts" which was useless circlejerking, communities are no different that subreddits in that particular sense, moderation and rules will still be present here, a mod deleting your post has nothing to do with them being on reddit or not.
