This is the fediverse, I recommend finding peace with the fact you’ll run into different customs here.
OP created a microblog post, which means Mastodon is the target audience, not Lemmy. For Mastodon, it’s essential to include mentions, even to the person you’re replying to, because otherwise Mastodon won’t notify the user of the reply.
Since Mastodon is the target audience here, OP probably also expected replies to come from that side of the fediverse, not the threadiverse. Their instance by default doesn’t display your instance’s name next to your name, nor does it display your software there. So they probably weren’t aware the user they were replying to used Lemmy. Hence the mention.
…and posted in programming… sigh
@[email protected] is this not the right forum ??
Hey @[email protected] it comes off as aggressively confrontational to reply to someone and @mention them at the same time.

No, it doesn’t.
It might feel “aggressively confrontational” to you, but I find your weird tone policing to be “aggressively confrontational”.
I see nothing wrong with it personally /shrug
Microblog clients, which may expect mastodon like interfaces, do this by default.
No it is not. This has nothing to do with programming.
Programming is writing in a programming language so the computer can execute it.
This post mentions no programming language, nor any set of programming languages. It isn’t either something that applies to all languages.
In short, it has nothing to do with programming
@[email protected] thank you very much for explaining it. Could you tell me which forums would be more suitable for my general questions ??
