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.
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.
