Unclear if AI bot, or insane person having a stroke.
My flair on that account from presumably another thread is “neoliberal troll”
So I think it’s just bait.
As I am a Lemmy n00b, can you direct me on what to do to be able to flair users? I like most of the Lemmy method of things, but as an old.reddit user using RES… I'm finding the options a little limited over here so far. :)
I use the voyager front end which lets me flare users. I believe you can also do this natively on the piefed default frontend (my instance is piefed). I’m not sure it’s possible on lemmy.
Thank you, this gives me where to go looking next :)
I've been here 2 years, and this is the first I'm hearing of this.
For you and @Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world, if flair, in this case, is similar to tagging users in other clients, it's a setting and feature set of clients like Voyager. You can tag users by going to their profile, selecting the three dots or whatever to get things like block user, and selecting tag. You can even change the vote total for them if you enable the setting to track vote totals for accounts.
I personally only modify the votes for accounts that I negatively tag. A super negative total is dark red and stands out!
unrelated but i love your 5 line keyboard layout
Thank you. I'll play around with available clients, then :)
Increasingly harder to tell the difference since 2014.
