Mentions & Reactions

Mentions

• @username notifies a person; @all and @here are powerful—use sparingly.
• Mention a role (if enabled) to notify a group of people.

Reactions

• Add emoji reactions to acknowledge or vote without new messages.
• Filter for reacted messages via the room’s search filters.

Status & availability

• Respect DND and away statuses; use threads instead of broad pings.
