We get reports, and that's great. But sometimes we also get reports for people who have already been banned, it's just that their comments weren't removed.

You can differentiate someone who was banned by the lack of a profile picture next to their name. All users since a few lemmy versions have a default pfp of the Lemmy mascot. If there's no pfp there, it means they were banned on the instance you're looking at the comment from.

On the other hand at least in Jerboa, there's a specific icon for banned people.

[-] BRINGit34@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago

Oh. I thought that was just a popular pfp. Lmao. I am not the brightest

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 year ago

Popular among trolls.

[-] RedWizard@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago

Came here to say this too.

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah and people who haven't chosen a pfp don't have one at all. I wasn't aware that default pfps were a thing until this post

[-] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

we used to have "banned" (or something like that) written next to the user's name, including for community-local bans; do you know why that was removed?

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

No idea as I don't follow Lemmy development, I see the updates same time as you haha

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Aww man I didn't realize I had a lame Lemmy mouse pfp. Time to upgrade to catfish I guess.

i mean lemmy's default pfp is a lot cuter than whatever reddit has as default pfp

[-] Saint_Seiya91@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

I’m mainly a lurker but it is still disappointing to see the comment section with Libs and their disingenuous arguments. I left Reddit due to its suppression of non-pro-western users. Lemmygrad is where we could have these conversations without the constant interruption from liberals. I support the banning of these accounts.

People who go out of their way to make an account in a far left website just to disrupt us should expect nothing less.

I have no issue with people asking genuine questions to learn about our point of view.

[-] rigor@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

I would suggest people get a profioe picture (pfp) if they are neutral as to getting one or not. Having a pfp makes you stand out and more memorable. Most frequent users have pfps.

Of course it is not required, and fine to not have one as well.

Nice try fed! You're clearly just trying to get me to identify myself!

I think you are safe from that particular danger, unless you are a cat.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Hopefully I'm blurry enough to get away with it.

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wait does this mean i get banned if i don't have a pfp? I'm confused. Do i need to get a pfp?

[-] rigor@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You have the default pfp, it is the Lemmy mascot as stated in the PSA. It looks like a mouse.

This is it:

imo lemmy should make a custom lemming maker

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

We should stay as far away from being reddit as possible.

That reeks of the “individualized Snoo” idea.

It’s not a bad one at that, but it harkens too much back to Reddit.

[-] thefreepenguinalt@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Aight

Imma use GIMP

[-] SovereignState@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
