NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
The Mention styling (and here, I'm mainline thinking of the content:"@" on .user-mention:before and its siblings, but also the border/background on .user-mention itself) is helpful when using a default people link - and in particular in bullet or task lists.
However, within a paragraph block, the additional styling is distracting. Especially so if we've taken the additional effort to customize the link text associated with the people link. It's particularly jarring that the additional .user-mention styling does not appear when editing - or even previewing - the page.
The only two workarounds are to circumvent the user mention system entirely (using a web link to the user's space) or to override the .user-mention CSS (however, the CSS has no distinction between customized and uncustomized link text).

[CONFSERVER-34078] Allow better styling of @mentions in Confluence
The simplistic CSS override approach - at the site or space level is to leverage the following css:
.wiki-content .user-mention:before, .wiki-content .user-mention:hover:before,
.wiki-content .user-mention:active:before, .wiki-content .user-mention:visited:before {
content: "";
}
Hello - thank you for sending in this suggestion! Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to implement this in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations correctly, we're closing this request now. If you'd like to describe more how this would help in your own use of Confluence, we may be able to provide better guidance.
Thanks again for your idea, and please feel free to submit more!
