Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?

I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?

e: this is what I see:

    Wait, really?

    That’s terrible design. I know I’m a mod and can take action. That’s the point of being a mod. Flagging all comments is superfluous and misleading.

    I thought something was wrong with my community.

    e: Instead of a shield (which to me means ‘fellow mod’) I’d colour the edit ellipsis green or something. This makes me think the commenter is a mod.

      I was initially confused by it too, but got used to it. I think the moderator functions ought to be accessed by an icon separate from the edit ellipsis, but I agree that it shouldn’t be a green shield like that.

      Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

      I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.
