Well I've definitely misinterpreted.

This might be a UI issue, because I see the post as coming from 'David Gerard@awful.systems' and then I see your comment as

@dgerard gtfo. Lol

Which to me I interpreted as 'lol this is David Gerard - gtfo here'. Especially with the reply from second user, "thanks, blocked".

    adding to the confusion, the shithead who replied with “thanks, blocked” is, I’m fairly certain, already banned from our instance

    anyway yeah the lemmy/mastodon interop has many sharp edges

    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.
