              It literally just works this way. There’s no way to post onto Lemmy from Mastodon without doing this as far as I know.

                • I don’t disagree, but telling individual commenters to do better isn’t going to work when the technology fundamentally doesn’t allow for it.

                  If you feel quite strongly about it, you could always open an issue with the Lemmy devs or the Mastodon devs.

                  Otherwise I feel like you’ll just come off as kind of a jerk?

                    It wouldn’t be ok if my posts came across all messed up on mastodon or some other platform.

                    Bad formatting, and perceived weird etiquette of calling people out is weird here, regardless of reason.

                    Like going to a foreign country and doing things that are out of hand for that culture. I’d expect to be asked to quit it

                Meh so be it.

                If an instance or platform had a no swearing rule but our posts automatically injected swear words, they’d probably take issue with it. It’s just junk process.

                (Obviously no one cares about swearing that’s not the point, just an example.)

                @'ing people is weird and I’m fine being an old man about it

              So complain to the developers that make mastodon work that way. Complaining here is worse than useless, no one here can do anything about it

                  or go away

                  One of the only true ‘responsibilities’ of Lemmy users is to conduct themselves in a manner that encourages user participation. This is not that and you are getting close to harrassement territory.

                  Drop it, and complain to the Lemmy/Mastodon devs.
