people who are not heavy resteemers likely have better response to resteems than those who do a lot of it. If we could add a comment to a resteem like we can on Twitter, then it could carry more weight. It would let followers know why it was resteemed.
As for mentions. While you don't use the option, there are a large number of people who use Ginabot on Discord which will alert them to a range of options including when they are mentioned. That is how I pick up most of the mentions I received.
Well that and @partiko which is installed on my tablet and sends me alerts about activity on my account and mentions.
