      Voyager’s tagging feature has made all of this not only easier to deal with, but sort of fun. I can make up my own labels such as ‘verified physicist’ or ‘paedo Nazi cunt’, and colour code them to easily spot them in threads. It diffuses my anger at trolls since I can spot them right away now. Highly recommend Voyager as a front end for Lemmy (and also to binge watch as the nights get long, Janeway is the bomb).

        Voyager also has per-user vote tracking, so even without tagging someone you can see at a glance how often you’ve liked or disliked their posts and comments in the past. It makes detecting quality contributors or trolls much easier.

        For example, I haven’t tagged LillyPup yet but there’s a green +54 next to your name so I know I’ve enjoyed your contributions many times in the past. :)

          You’re +2 for me! I think we just haven’t interacted that much from my end, because now I’ve tagged you as a Standup Guy, in green.

      And you have block tools readily available to you that aren’t constant shifting around in the UI, or being removed entirely.

      The volume is low enough, you can block the worst of the people and actually make an appreciable difference.
