Is this a specific incident that you're referring to? I did a quick search and all that came up were results for Papa John's on Olympic Blvd. in L.A. or pizza places in towns/cities named Olympia.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Ha, not specifically, but the word "olympic" is restricted in copyright in every country that participates in the olympics. So if you see "Olympic pizza" it predates 1976 or whatever the year was that Congress threw yet more copyright law under the bus.
