Mention group/user without notification

[tobiaseigen]

This came up recently in a conversation about at mention etiquette here on Meta. Richard has an interesting idea!

@RGJ

What about having @username~ that acts as a “silent mention” which suppresses notifications ?

I’ve heard this idea come up a handful of times over the years. Providing the right level of affordance here is probably the trickiest part.

Happy to explore it more in a Feature topic as Tobias suggested though
