Is there a setting on github to stop being notified when someone @ me in a thread or repository that I didn't subscribe, watch or participate in?

We understand the inconvenience caused by these notifications. Our teams are currently working on addressing these unsolicited phishing notifications. We want to remind our users to continue to use our abuse reporting tools to raise any abusive or suspicious activity.

We would like to bring to our users’ attention to the following:

• Please do not click any links or reply to these notifications. Please report them.
• Authorizing an OAuth app can expose your GitHub account and data to a third party.  
• GitHub’s recruitment process would never mention its users via issues/PRs or other public content.
• GitHub recommends you periodically review your authorized OAuth apps. 
  This spam activity targets and abuses GitHub’s mention and notification functionality.
• This is a phishing campaign and is not the result of a compromise of GitHub or its systems.
