I have user tags enabled since itβs fun to see how many times I upvoted or downvoted a user displayed by their username, but I donβt add any of my own tags or interact with users beyond what is said in the comments of a specific thread.

MODERATORS
Beyond the usual descriptors of troll, zionist, obnoxious twat, etc. I like to place people to general regions and countries if they share them.
It helps me remember that the Internet is not the US and gives me some vague sense of what they may be dealing with outside our cozy Lemmy bubble.

Am I tagged/labelled folks?
This is a detail I never want to know.
I am not for the life of me seeing where to add a tag or a label. I checked in 3 different UIs, including the main one.
Seems it varies instance by instance. On fedia I can hover over someone's username with my cursor and alongside some info on their account there's a field for notes (haven't tested to see if it saves between devices, but there is a save button, so maybe it does). I don't see a note option on my mander account.
Thanks, I'll check that out
To be honest, I don't think I paid much attention to that being a thing haha (although fedia has notes, not tags). Back when I used Discord I sometimes added notes, mostly about nicknames and stuff - but this isn't my "chatting with friends and recognising people" space, so not sure I'll use them.
Trolls, Tankies and Antisemites is what I tag.
A few times. If I notice the same user and then they mention something specific about themselves, I'll throw that info into the label, eg: 911 dispatch.
