How to hide the "Add mentions" toolbar in the comments box?

[Greg]

How can we hide the "Add mentions"  toolbar in the commetns box?

In my opinion this has only added clutter and distraction to this workspace.

UPDATE: I was able to hide this in Chrome for MacOS,  with an ad-blocking browser extension. 

YMMV... they worked for me, but no guarantees

I whole heartedly agree @Greg. We turn off Smart Replies for the same reason.

I've created ticket Need a way to disable "Add mentions" block in comments.

I wish Atlassian would stop trying to stuff these kinds of things into comment inputs.

If anyone is interested, I added a rule to AdGaurd that targets this element and hides it after the page loads:

atlassian.net##[aria-label="Mention"]:nth-ancestor(1)

 So far this is working for me.

Hi @Greg ,

Welcome to the community, I could not find anything that provides a solution to this.

I would suggest putting in a feature request for the same.

https://jira.atlassian.com/projects/JSDCLOUD/issues/

I am watching this to see if any community member has more insights on this in the future.
