Color posts and comments based on moderation rules of the origin server
similar to the kbin userscript I made this colorizes posts and comments by origin. kbin users/posts are dark blue, Beehaw (and any other restrictive moderation sites in the future) are red, local is left unchanged.
You're viewing a single thread.
pretty nice!
I wonder about these types of scripts and plugins promoting an in-group/out-group mentality, but I suppose we shall see.
I feel like the inclusion of highlighting users from heavily moderated instances could create that mentality, but I think it is quite valuable to have a colour coded view of who is using kbin and who is using lemmy. It's just somewhat interesting seeing which communities people from different federated platforms are interacting with.
As a user on a defederated instance, for me it's a reminder that even if I see one of their comments or posts on a non-beehaw instance, there's no point in replying because they'll never see it anyway.
I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT, that is actually quite a useful piece of information thank you for mentioning that. As I am also on a defederated instance (rip sh.it.heads) this will be useful.
case in point:
https://lemmy.world/post/200347 and https://beehaw.org/post/594642 have completely different comments
