I’d call it fortunate, and a feature. Not pinging certainly avoids many discussions becoming too heated too fast between two people and lets other opinions intervene.

I’d call it fortunate, and a feature. Not pinging certainly avoids many discussions becoming too heated too fast between two people and lets other opinions intervene.
There are systems in place to prevent fast back-and-forth arguments.
Not having a mentions functionality for those who wish to use it doesn't seem to to change anything around over-heated discussions.
I'd make @ a page like 'threads' which just includes any comments with @$username.
