@Fidgetcetera @mallaidh oh, I wouldn't want to remove the mentions from the toot, but if someone removes the mentions I'd like to see that it was a reply to someone else

@mallaidh @Fidgetcetera er, a reply to someone else's toot

@djsundog @mallaidh i maybe don't mind the idea if it doesn't obfuscate existing info tbh.

@djsundog it was just sort of an unnecessary change that obfuscated who was actually being replied to

@mallaidh ah, see, mastodon already obfuscates that in the web ui if you delete the mentions in a reply, so the only way to tell there is more to the context is to notice the reply icon changes to a double arrow
