is there a mastodon convention for dot-replying, like on twitter?

is it usually seen as good form to leave the @ in and add a dot before it, or is it preferable to delete it and let the scope handle it

i ask because it seems kinda hard to see what some things are responses to, but it also seems redundant

another thought: maybe i should retweet what i was responding to first?

hmm...but that can potentially get into "rewooing things i don't endorse" territory

@thingywott for things i don 't endorse i take links to them

i don't like quote tweets much though so consider just commenting on it more generally behind a content warning?

@vahnj that's...a good idea, i might just do this
