The voyger mobile app allows you to tag users and see how many times you’ve upvoted abd downvoted them. If you have an idea you can suggest it as a feature on github. Outside of that you can only really block and report if their behaviour breaks the rules.
At the moment its up to the community at the moment to weed out those kinds of people.
was thinking of something similar to this except for web users too. for example if a user is reported as someone with a malicious history and/or has affiliations with malicious people/sites, the instance admins/mods review the evidence of the reporters and if the evidence is sufficient, that user gets flagged and the flag federates across instances. maybe a red “!” next to the name that has a note when you hover the cursor over it or tap it to warn users to be careful around that person. idk a thing about programming though so I don’t know how hard/easy this’d be to implement lol
I’m using voyager app and I just know about this! Is that a feature I should turn on in the setting? Because right now, I couldn’t seem to find the option “tag” anyone.
I think its good because some users really want that feature. But i think on by default for every user could encourages users to run multiple burner style accounts which is a huge problem for moderation and doesnt solve the problem users try to solve from tagging.
Example you might have me tagged as a Nazi because you dont want to interact or be subtly influenced by my less blatant comments. However if I knew everyone did this then I’d run one account for the blatant stuff and one account for blending in.
Its why I’m kind of against platform banning users instead of having individual blocks. Its better to bad actors known and operating in the open than to have them hiding and avoiding moderation.
Maybe Shaun, the leftist skull on YouTube? I don’t recognize the quote but it seems like something he’d say and based on Lemmy’s politics I’d bet he’s popular here.
And Admiral Patrick on the instance dubvee.org, but it is regional for the state of West Virginia in the USA (tho he might be willing to share his blocked list?).
Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day. His ban list is not just malicious users but people he disagrees with.

I think PieFed gives reputation warning icons for entities it thinks are statistically bad actors.
Not sure I like this though. That kinda stuff can just as easily be used to enforce echo chambers and censorship.

As Shaun puts it:
Sorry, Shaun who? 😅
You don’t know Shaun? How come?
(I don’t know either)
