Although Lemmy’s userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

    Connect lets you tag people, witch helps with recognition. Both in positive and negative sense. I usually tag people before adding them to my ban list, to see if their behaviour is coherent or a fluke.

    Aside from that there’s a couple of names that I recall through their frequency of posting or a very specific name, such as Mr cumfart, flying squid, pugjesus and Picard. Otherwise I sometimes recognize names, but not in a way I would recall them.

      I always check people’s comment history before I block, to see if they are always a jerk or if they’re just having a bad day.

      It’s a feature in Boost as well.

      Is Connect ad supported? I might switch if so. It would suck to have to rebuild my tagged users though, I do the same thing.

      Edit: no ads. Thank you!
