We get reports, and that’s great. But sometimes we also get reports for people who have already been banned, it’s just that their comments weren’t removed.
You can differentiate someone who was banned by the lack of a profile picture next to their name. All users since a few lemmy versions have a default pfp of the Lemmy mascot. If there’s no pfp there, it means they were banned on the instance you’re looking at the comment from.
we used to have “banned” (or something like that) written next to the user’s name, including for community-local bans; do you know why that was removed?
No idea as I don’t follow Lemmy development, I see the updates same time as you haha
