@FediTips I think they were just branching it over and over or something. I probably would have had to go all the way back to my original post and manually mute from there.

Anyway, I was just expressing a feeling that a more active removal of one's tag from a conversation might make some people happier. Just a side thought. Probably wouldn't happen anyway.

@FediTips Yeah, just I got particularly annoyed the other day (on a different account) where the same one just kept coming up despite me hitting mute. They must have just been branching off like mad or something, lol.

I guess I would have had to have found my original post and muted from there, but it seems to have finally disappeared for me for now anyway.

Still, I see a lot of "please remove me from this conversation" posts and it strikes me that if there was a way for a person to actually do that themselves, it would really make a lot of people happier.

@FediTips It seems there are limitations to this though. Apparently different replies at different points affect which "conversation" is actually being referred to even though it all stems back to a same post further back.

Someday what we really need is a way to remove your tag as a default from new posts so when people post a new post they would have to manually add it if they actually wanted to tag you.
