It’s very wacky that @s don’t work even though the bolding seems to imply they should. I just saw someone @ her boyfriend in an affectionate way (“is this what it’s like when we kiss” type of question) and he’s not going to see it and she might think he’s ignoring her

I think the @s are supposed to function as links. But also getting mad at your boyfriend for not looking at social media seems really immature to me.
you've got a good point but if they're long distance then social media is a core part of their relationship. hopefully not COHOST as the most central one, like i'm hoping they also use a messaging app but still. (it is also still kind of immature but would be more understandable if someone got upset if they're ldr)
Right, like to me it seems minor enough that it wouldn’t get brought up after but that’s actually kind of worse because then someone would feel bad about it without actually talking about it and finding out the @ didn’t work
I suppose that's fair, it doesn't feel good being ignored. I've never really been the sort to publicly talk to lovers on social media and stuff so maybe I just don't understand. 😅
same you would not catch me dead doing this but I have known a LOT of people who operate this way
that's completely fair!! i'm not much of the type to do so either because it's a kind of PDA that i don't like to perform.
at least letting mutuals @ each other seems like a decent idea because then the, yknow, relationship is... mutual. cuts down on the risk of harassment. which is why it's not something in effect
