The one bummer I have about Mastodon is that it takes what used to be a kind of sort of meaningfully understood usage of @ and turns it into scrambled eggs with @user@instance.social for it's usage in use names. It's the one place where I would begrudgingly acknowledge that blue sky has a compelling rationale.

And yes I'm aware that Mastodon omits the second @ for users on the same server, it's a imperfect compromise that sometimes helps but largely leaves the problem unresolved.
