User blog comment:Mira Laime/Introducing long-awaited Discussions updates/@comment-27334870-20190331003610

I'm excited and slightly concerned about the @ function.

While it certainly helps for drawing in users whose opinion are needed in discussions and cuts back the use of message walls, it also seems pretty easy to abuse and clog users with tons of notifications which can be hard to manage in communities who put a large focus on discussions in general.

That said, it's more of a minor concern, and I'm overall very glad to see discussions are being improved on.
