The @ symbol before a username "tags" them. Typically making their username a link to their account and appearing highlighted. Somehow, she was able to undo the link to her page, untagging herself.
This is kinda making sense out of something else for me. A week or so ago, I started geting emails about some total stranger "adding me to the conversation". I had no idea what was going on, why they were suddenly linking a dormant account. Thinking maybe now my old unused Twitter profile is attracting people to my Great Awakening comments that were left up. Maybe someone is trying to get the word out to us we can safely use Twitter again.
Is it bad that I have no idea what 'untagged herself from the tweet' actually means?
And if it is, I don't care.
Ohhh, that is what Jack is pointing out to us. Thanks for the explanation!
nvm. See edit from u/NorwegianGuy2.
What happens if you 'tag' an account that is no longer there?
It would just show up as plain text. E.g. not blue like links where you can click them.
This is what I was thinking. Has she canceled her account?
Kind of you to post this though.
I did not know that about the @ symbol!
I’m a software engineer and I don’t know. But I’m gonna go find out, based on comment from u/biblical.
