Testing to see if I can post on my website, use Brid.gy publish, and not @ mention @​​schnarfed.

  1. I’ll bet that with a quick change after-the-fact that I can also add a link and have it webmention him too, so that he only receives one notification (the one from me, but not the one from Twitter).

  2. Not necessarily a permanent solution for all platforms and microsyntaxes depending on the number of syndicated copies, but potentially a clever stopgap for those who may need it. 
    One can use a zero-width space (using something like in their HTML) between the @ and a twitter user name on the original post and the syndicated copy will not have the traditional @mention link or notification functionality. 
    Here’s an example

    Original post: https://boffosocko.com/2020/09/17/55777062/
    Syndicated copy: https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/1306748549233815553

    This reply can also serve as a test for the functionality within Github where I’ll “tag” both @kylewm and @​snarfed, but if it works, Ryan shouldn’t be auto-linked or notified.
