The easiest solution would be strip markdown and show @discobot… at new line alone.
Yes, tech savvy will cry bloody tears when theirs eyes are melting, but more normal people are totally happy 
That is what we ae using with e-commerce when tehre is urls, download links etc…
So, if markdown is not hardcoded but is showing in text I would replace backticks with <p></p> or <br /> tags.
