All commenters get the mod flag
All commenters get the mod flag
Took me a while and an AskLemmy post to figure this out, since I initially thought Lemmy was auto-modding commenters (which kinda made me panic), but this is what I see:
I am the only mod in this community, and others aren’t seeing this flag everywhere, so commenters aren’t actually modded.
Is this a bug with Voyager or with my instance?
Someone just told me these shields mean I’m a mod and can interact with these posts, but that’s not what it meant to me. To me, it means ‘this user is a mod’, which was super confusing.
I’d instead color the edit menu ellipsis green, not add a shield.
Those tags, like this shield, convey information about the user’s status, not what I can do. The ellipsis tells me what I can do.
Hey, thanks for the post. On Voyager, there is no moderator badge. Instead, the username color changes. give yourself a bit of time to get used to it, maybe you’ll end up liking it. :-)
I like it if I’m doing a global search or viewing all or home and one of a posts from the communities that I moderate shows up, then I know that I can moderate it quickly at a glance.
In addition, for admins, both local and remote it changes to red with or without a checkmark inside of the shield as a signal on what actions can be performed by admins on a given piece of content. So it’s a bit more complex than just showing if you can moderate a given post or comment.
Thanks!
This is what I’m seeing:
It’s not a username colour – that would be ideal. It’s a green shield badge.
e: you said: ‘In addition, for admins, both local and remote it changes to red with or without a checkmark inside of the shield as a signal on what actions can be performed by admins on a given piece of content’
I have no idea what you mean by this. We were talking about username colours, and that made sense, though I haven’t seen that. Now we’re on checkmarks, which I see, but doesn’t make sense. Does that make sense?
