Was wondering what those red exclamations were on some piefed users. Also surprising that I see them using a Lemmy client on a Lemmy instance, but can't click on them to see what they mean, as highlighted here.

If you are seeing those on lemmy or in a different client than the web ui, that would have to be something else. The red triangles don't federate at all, nor are they in the api, they are just based on the local content of a user on that instance.

I am very interested in what client you are using. Do you have a screenshot of this?

Considering what wjs018 said, I now suspect the users I've seen it on just added the symbol in their display name like a badge of honor, like how mine is all emojis. Which is what I thought before seeing this thread initially.

And I use Connect.

Are you on the web client, or using an app?
