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? 🥺

    the only tag i remember putting on was one that said “doesn’t consider children to be family” which was very funny to me

    Yes. I tag people that prove to be wastes of time: arguing in bad faith, lying, uninterested in actually taking any advice and are only here to whine, proud bigots.

    I tag them because they often get good responses from the community that I want to see. I just don’t want to engage with the tagged person directly, so tag them to signal to myself to not waste effort.

    No tagged people in this thread.

    Some examples of tags I have applied to other users,“AI Slop Slinger”, “Fetish hunter”, “Doesn’t reply”, “the world is white straight male by default”, and “uses Lemmy as websearch, poorly”.

    For example, AI slop slinger asked a question that prompted a lot of really excellent, in-depth responses with citations that I could run down and learn even more from. But Slinger just posted semi-regurgitated text back in comments. Some assumed Slinger spoke a different language and tried to help them communicate, but no, Slinger was just a lazy asshat wasting people’s time. Maybe Slinger wasn’t even human.

      This is what we are talking about, right? Tagging others?

      But the other comments seem to be talking about some kind of labelling. Did Lemmy add a new feature that I’m unaware of?

        Found the answer in the parent thread, thank you @Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club:

        That’s a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this fearure.

        It’s a little weird that they took a well established term (in social media context: tag, id by which to mention a user, also known as ‘tagging’) and gave it a wholly different meaning (tag: label).

        No, not any I know of. Tagging is also commonly called mentioning here.

        edit: Oh, I think I know what they mean. It’s the labels or badges you can put on people, I think. But that is not a native Lemmy feature. Thunder and Summit have them, for example.

        OP should make clear whether they mean mentioning/tagging or labeling people in apps.

    I dont. In fact I didn‘t know it was possible and just learned about it through your post.

    Yes. 💜 for my favourite people. 🙂 for people I’ve interacted with once or twice and would like to interact with more. ⭐ for people that I haven’t interacted with but always enjoy their posts and comments. ✊ for similar reasons to the star but I like their politics.

    I’ve also given one person a red flag 🟥 but haven’t seen them again. There’s a couple more I could probably give red flags to but also I would prefer to see more friendly symbols in my feed than danger warnings.

    And seeing as you asked so nicely, I haven’t tagged you yet but I think I’ll give you a 🙂.

      That’s a good idea to use emoji. I tag with a short few words describing the thing they commented that gave me a chuckle or frown.

        One thing I’m starting to find though is that the yellow emojis are maybe looking a little too much like Reddit style awards at first glance, or at least making me think of them. Might look for purple alternatives or something else that looks a bit more toned down along with a dark theme.

        I like your idea. Seems like a good way to be reminded of something random and get a laugh while you’re scrolling.

          Yeah I could see that I suppose, be great to keep it as far from Reddit as possible. It’s worked okay so far for me, nice to personalise users a bit, Zero22xx “emoji tagger” 😁

    No. I do remember some usernames if they frequently take stances but will never judge them for a single comment. The userbase is small enough to know nearly everyone.
