Yeah, there’s a lot of power posters here. PugJesus is an example from the opposite camp, calling out the anti-Democrat propaganda from the two OP mentioned.
Tags are much more noticeable than user names. It tends to stick out more from the rest of the post and makes you notice who the poster is. After seeing them enough you tend to get a feel for the type of content they post about.
You can put your own nickname next to the names of other users, to catalog them/ mark trolls or whatever. That seems to be what Don is doing inbetween Rampages
wait, you guys read usernames?

I tag a lot of people with nicknames. Really makes them stand out a lot more, and when they do the type of content and patterns stick out a lot more.
Ooh! What’s mine?
cutest boy
I read this comment several times and I still don’t understand it. Stand out for what? What content and patterns?

I wasn’t even aware this was a thing
What app are you using that lets you tag? I love Eternity but if I can get a similar experience with user tagging I’d be pretty excited to try it
Connect and Voyager both let me
I tag propaganda accounts all the time using Boost and Connect. Connect is FOSS, Boost was a Reddit app. You really do notice patterns.
or just block them?
I think the Fediverse will fail of regular people don’t push back against the propaganda. There’s no budget for countering misinformation.
