As Lemmy grows it would really good if we have more tools to filter out low quality users.
- RES like user tagging. Boost is already one of the few apps that has user tagging but it would be nice if they added the vote counter as well as the origin comment the user was tag based off of.
- Communities they are banned from and why
- Lowest voted comments
The RES like tagging might be easy to implement. I don’t really like the RES vote counter so I’d prefer to be able to turn that off
I’m not sure if community bans are easily searchable, so that might be a little hard to do
Not sure if this changes anything for you but with the constraint on space for mobile plus the possible future inclusion of the up/down vote counts per post it would probably mean the user vote counter will have to be a general visualization like a user name color gradient to reduce the clutter.
Since we’re on the topic and you’re the admin/mod the Communities I post the most on I kinda curious how you guys keep track of people you’ve banned. I was skimming through my list of people I tagged and you guys banned like half of them. I’d imagine you be very favorable to it since it could make moderating a lot easier.
For sure, I’d love some more moderation and admin tools, especially on desktop because that’s where I do a lot of the more detailed stuff
On Reddit we have Mod Toolbox alongside RES, which allows for mods to add usernotes to people with small messages on what to look out for. Reddit also makes it easier to see when someone was banned, and for how long. Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of those features yet, which makes it harder to keep track of what was done. So far I’ve been moderating from memory of what was already done. Admins can also check the logs for things like IP addresses, to tie things together
