Would also love to know which parts of tagging feel most annoying! Is it that others are tagging and notifying you, or more the aesthetics of seeing @this and @that everywhere?

it's annoying to me because i feel like it is a tool of 'influencer' culture, which is a giant human centipede i'd rather not get in the middle of. hope that helps! ;-)
My biggest concern is the potential of toxicity, piling on, trying to get a writerтАЩs attention on a post. One of the things I love about Substack as a тАЬsocialтАЭ platform is how I usually donтАЩt see people trashing other writers here. Tagging could open it up to that.
On the other hand, I would love the ability to call peopleтАЩs in the comment thread weтАЩre already commenting in! If someone said something insightful somewhere else in a 600+ comment thread, it would be nice to point that comment out to them. It would also be cool to tag other publications in a post and have it work a little like recommendations so you can see who reads your post or follows you.
