I just discovered an extremely fun bug with the "show more" cw feature.

Hmmm, interesting, I can't repro this. @.@

omg, I get why. There's a user named `@_` on mastodon.social, so `@_@` is being treated as an @mention.

Looks like this was closed as a WONTFIX in December: github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/ But I wonder if there's another way around this. Is @username@ actually a valid format? Is it still considered a feature, not a bug, to have a semi-qualified username with an @ but no domain?
