[–] halfcalf@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) Why are there so many comments that start with "@five"? I feel like there's something about how the site works that I'm misunderstanding. Isn't the user who posted the article automatically notified when someone posts a comment? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] basidialtiger@beehaw.org 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think that's from mastodon users, and how mastodon works when replying. I haven't personally used mastodon though, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Five@slrpnk.net [S] 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's correct. @aral@mastodon.ar.al discovered and boosted the post, and it snowballed across the Tootiverse.
