As shared by the opinion-sharing app, unmentioning oneself from a conversation will include:
- The username will be untagged from the conversation (original tweet & future replies)
- Other users won’t be able to re-mention the untagged user in the same reply chain
- The untagged user will no longer be notified about the updates in the conversation
