When I comment on stuff here why are there brackets around the persons screen name?

@Peaches this is an example of how it looks.👀 I don't remember it like this before?
Okay, the brackets don't show up when I post the question, it's around my name and I can only see it BEFORE I post the question....?!

@Jessa29 I don't understand the "tagging thing?!" 🤔

Jessa29 · 36-40, FMod

@Peaches it just means that it will go to their profile.

@Jessa29 But we already get notifications?!😕

@Peaches right but let's say your friend tags you in another post you would get a notification about it.

@Jessa29 I guess I'll just have to see it one day to ever understand it.👀 Thanks anyway Jessa.
