Don’t seatbelt your face, obviously

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's more like "please do seatbelt your face", because, there's no x on the bottom to say no to that

I found it on a couple comments curiosity got the better of me I thought I may as well ask

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe it means banned user

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thats what I thought but I wanna be 100% sure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should be easy to verify - open the public modlog (https://lemmy.world/modlog) and find a random user that has been banned recently, view their profile / comments and check if the icon shows up. If the icon really means that they are, in fact, banned, then it should show up every time.

....that being said, I've never seen that icon before. Are you using an app or the desktop version? Do you get a mini pop up when you hover the mouse pointer over the icon?

I'm using jeboa on android

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hm... the only related info I can find is that it is called a "no account(s)" icon here: https://fontawesomeicons.com/svg/icons/no_accounts#ex-tab3 ...but no explanation about what exactly it means in the context of jerboa/lemmy/android.

Did you only see them on older comments?

That's the meaning of that symbol? Incredible!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

you're not funny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My guess is it means you can’t log in or aren’t logged in. It could also be block user or blocked user. It’s just a crossed out person, so it could be a number of things.
