I feel that the ability to tag users is the only thing that Lemmy is missing for me. Maybe all of the actions of these bad actors will inspire the creation of a tagging system.
Check out my original comment for an update. Sync goes Lemmy does what I was looking for.
Thanks, I’ve been using Lift Off but if Sync allows you to tag users, I’ll have to give it a try.
I quite like it. I find the text extremely small. I’ve made it larger but then the cards get very crowded. I’ll eventually get it to somewhere that it works better for me.
This morning the first response in my inbox was from someone I had hilighted as red and tagged as a BAD FAITH ACTOR. It helped me to slow down and carefully craft my response. I like it a lot but the tagging and hilighting functionality costs a couple of bucks per month or $25 per year.
I would be happy to have it in my client. If I could have a personal list of tagged users so that their names showed up in a different color I wouldn’t accidentally get drawn into a conversation with someone who is just using childish, circular arguments and utter nonsense in a bad faith attempt to derail the conversation. I could just ignore them and continue the discussion with other users but I could also warn others who were engaging with them and becoming frustrated that they are bad actors and that they are wasting their breath.
