Why some of users have got their user-IDs mentioned automatically in Telegram Notifs?

See this screenshot. Why only Rohini gets her username + user-ID mentioned, automatically, but not Pankaj Grover, nor Nishu Chhabra (they only get their usernames mentioned)!! Why what could possibly be wrong with their usernames/userids?

The above is just an example. Otherwise there are many other users who get their UserIDs mentioned, while others only get their usernames mentioned.

TLDR; the @username is suppressed if it’s “similar” (e.g. Name Surname with a Name_Surname username).

Thanks very much for this much clarification. I’ve understood the implications up to some extent.

Though, I think, there should be some clarification somewhere in the plugin settings (in some tooltips or in the labels/notes accompanying the setting-boxes) for this, visibly odd, behaviour.

  1. There should be at least some setting in Plugin settings to control this behaviour.

  2. Sad that I’m not knowledable enough to modify this myself.
