If so, why and what do you tag them? What fits your bill as to tag and remember someone and to just leave it be?

Oh, bonus question, if you tag people, what am I tagged as? 🥺

    I tag people that never fail to find something to argue about, obvious trolls, bad faith / sea lion conversationalists and so on. If I encounter them again and they show the same behaviour as a pattern, I fully block them.

    I also use it for more fun stuff, like who is overly helpful, friendly or who recommended a good book. This way, if I see them again I get reminded of the positive interaction from before

    edit: @OmegaLemmy@discuss.online you might want to replace “tag” with “label” or something, people think you mean username @tagging and don’t read the body of your post

      What do you have against sealions? I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any sealion has ever done to you? I’m just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion.

      (please tag me as generally not being serious. Have a spectacular day)

    I tagged one person who argued that calling someone by their preferred name and pronouns was infringing on his right to free speech. He was tagged as “Fucko”. Every time I saw them in the comments, I would reply and refer to them as Fucko.

    My intent was to get them to realize that it’s not great to be called the wrong name every time you try to interact with people. The comments usually got pulled for being rude, which I understand, but I still feel it was for the greater good.

    • Why is it that you don’t use 3rd party apps? I have no issue with Jerboa and have used it extensively, but I’m mainly wondering if there’s something I’m missing with 3rd party Lemmy clients.

        Because the web interface is perfectly fine and I honestly don’t see why every freaking website needs to be an app these days.

        • Yeah I completely agree when you put it that way. I’ve been doing this for the desktop web apps that I used to have installed (Discord, Spotify, Teams) accessing them via a browser instead.

          I’ve been meaning to tidy up my phone anyway so I’ll give the mobile Web UI a good go.

        Why use an app for something that works perfectly fine via web browser as well? The less apps I have on my phone the better.

    I use Sync and yes. I tag transphobes, racists, obvious trolls, Zionists, MAGAts, and general chuds.

    The vast majority of users you included I don’t have tagged as anything

    Edit: so far it looks like I have no one in this thread tagged as anything.

    I tag mostly for humor, things I think are funny, unique traits about a person that I’ve noticed are a pattern. Some examples

    • thinks the moon landing is fake
    • documents tankies
    • LOVES Taylor Swift
    • thinks the moon landing is fake

      Everyone knows the government asked Stanley Kubrick to fake the landing, but he’s so dedicated to getting the most out of his actors that he build a real rocket and sent them to the moon.

    Ya, kremlin troll bots/both the same/etc bots get a tag (the obnoxious/hard core ones gets a block), then misogynists etc gets a tag and nice people gets a tag too.

    Little nice? “+”, super nice “+++”. Little nice several times? “++”

    I have no tag on you, who have one on me 😬 ?

    I tag for any reason but lately are mostly people that I don’t think they are trolls but they like to argue about anything, so I tag them as a warning to not look too much into it. I’ve also been tagging what I think might be bots before blocking, accounts with a hundred posts per day and a hundred comments per year.

    I should probably standardize my tags a bit, but like others I mainly use it to label argumentative people with mean names as a reminder not to argue with them and their dumbass\shithead\moron\cia-psyop views.

    I should also start tagging locals when I suspect them. Maybe all 3 of us can have a Lemmy NOLA meetup sometime?

    And no OP, you haven’t “earned” a label yet.

    I have now tagged you as “Label-Curious”

    Yes. Multiple reasons. Mostly to keep track of traits for good or bad, such as people who have proven to be aware of nuance and capable of level headed debate VS for example tankies and conspiracy theorists.

    I also tag my fellow countrymen (There are dozens of us!)

    You haven’t earned a tag yet. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
