Ooh! What’s mine?
Comment on Lemmy is the best social media
RampageDon@lemmy.world 5 months agoI tag a lot of people with nicknames. Really makes them stand out a lot more, and when they do the type of content and patterns stick out a lot more.

I read this comment several times and I still don’t understand it. Stand out for what? Content and patterns?
RampageDon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Tags are much more noticeable than user names. It tends to stick out more from the rest of the post and makes you notice who the poster is. After seeing them enough you tend to get a feel for the type of content they post about.

You can put your own nickname next to the names of other users, to catalog them/ mark trolls or whatever. That seems to be what the guy above us is doing. (Sorry guy above us I forgot your name and am nit sure if a comment saves if i go back to check it)

What app are you using that let’s you tag? I love Eternity but if I can get a similar experience with user tagging I’d be pretty excited to try it

I tag propaganda accounts all the time using Boost and Connect. Connect is FOSS, Boost was a Reddit app. You really do notice patterns.

or just block them?

I think the Fediverse will fail of regular people don’t push back against the propaganda. There’s no budget for countering misinformation.

Connect and Voyager both let me

Can you explain how to do this on Voyager? Can’t seem to figure it out.
