Replying auto-mentions
It seems that any new replies I create are auto-prepended with a mention, is this the expected behavior now and is there any way to toggle it on/off?
It's just unnecessary, if I want to mention someone, I can easily do it, no need for the system to try to do it on my behalf. And it will result in double the amount of notifications :)
Anyway, I guess I'll learn to live with it.

Not everyone has your prowess with the community :). Seriously though, it may help with engagement by notifying users when a comment meant for them has been posted. So on that front I agree it may well increase notifications which, for most users, may not be to intrusive, I can see though that notifications might become high for super users such as yourself if you get notified on every reply to your comments.
The problem with that is a toggle would only stop you auto mentioning, not anyone else so it’s not going to impact your notifications.
You could change your email settings for notifications here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/myprofilepage/tab/user-subscriptions:notification-settings
I don’t know if that would help you much
