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.
Great job, thank you!
Just one thing - it would be great if these rules would not work on strictly moderated instances themselves because there is no point of such highlighting there. We can configure it in userscript setting in UI. But it's better to have such logic right in the scripts itself. So far I have just added this additional condition to the block at the end:if (isLemmy && !isStrictlyModerated(window.location.hostname)) {
GM_addStyle(...I will mention, anyone that is using the light theme will have this broken. From what I have seen most people seem to be using the dark theme anyways so it's not that big of a deal but it is worth mentioning.
Thank you for the great userscript! It is quite nice to have a colour coded view of this.
lol yes, I forget that some people are psychopaths who like staring into the sun
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.
