Wouldn’t it be more confusing if there were two tabs with repeating pronouns? Idk I’m not settled on this. I just picked whatever felt better. They’re more visually different.

Sure, but why is one statement the site talking and the other one me talking? It's just arbitrary and adds a moment of confusion. Maybe I'll run a poll to see if it's just me.

Repeating pronouns would not be confusing for me. It would serve to indicate that it's the prepositions which are the important part (which they are). Anyway the poll is now live at /post/2737 so we can see what the majority think. Side note: is there a better way to refer to one post in another like this than putting the whole URL in there?

I can't really think of anything better off-hand. You could overload the # some more and just follow it with the post number but then there would be chaos if anyone wanted a fully numerical hashtag which is going to happen at some point (new year, for instance). I like that it shortens it in the rendering as it stands - that's good enough for me. :)

That works nicely. Although again you will get unintentional usage because ~ followed by a number is often used to mean approximately that number. eg: "we're expecting ~100 people". You are also using it for strikethrough formatting. Looking at my keyboard the least ambiguous/overused symbol is probably the & - but I'm not sure if that's better overall.

I think the ampersand is ok. It's doesn't much historical use for these things and being feels more like an append behavior than movement to or continuation of a conversation. >_2596, branded but looks and feels awkward >2596 or >>2596, I like the directionality and punch.
