The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    I tag users occasionally when they stand out to me, so I recognize those people but often forget why I tagged them as such lol

      Do you get occasional tag reset on app update or is it only me?

      Because of this I don’t bother anymore.

      I honestly thought I had tagged more users

      I mostly only tag users whom I read as reasonable enough to have a discussion with initially, but I’ve learned it doesn’t go well. And the booooooomer tag is for the prolific poster of boomer-ass memes.

      (The combination of green and a positive vote count makes it look like I might be down for Islamophobia, but I just wanted a different color and I feel weird interacting with someone’s comments/posts after I’ve tagged them, because I’ve essentially prejudiced myself against them, so if they’re positive when I tag them, they’ll stay that way)

        I hate that I instantly knew who you were talking about the moment you said boomer memes.

        I color my own tags based on an escalating system of good/bad impressions - so someone who posted questionable opinions or insulted other commenters once or twice gets a dull gray, a repeat offender gets bumped up to yellow, and someone who’s shown a long-term pattern of toxic behavior gets the dreaded red tag. I save blocks for people who contribute absolutely nothing positive to the Fediverse - I think I have a few hundred tagged users but less than a dozen blocks.

        Similarly, good posters go from white to blue to green, though since Voyager keeps track of and displays lifetime vote totals I only tend to tag the truly memorable posters.
