I tag users with extreme views in any direction.
It helps to recognize them in most discussions.

On Reddit users would see something like:
This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. If you really want to know what was written here, please see my comment on this alternative service here: https://piefed.social/post/740543#comment_6045217
Using pie fed here because it’s (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I’ve heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it’s good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.
You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.
*Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.

NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.worldOPto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•The kindness of strangers: I was injured and using crutches, when a group of scary teens offered to help meEnglish7·17 days agoYeah, that makes sense. I agree, I wish this was such a common thing that it wasn’t even newsworthy.
But for now I’m glad that some news organizations have started categories that focus on positive news stories like this. This one in particular is part of the Guardian’s “Kindness of Strangers” series. It looks like they started this series about 6 months ago.
NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.worldOPto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•The kindness of strangers: I was injured and using crutches, when a group of scary teens offered to help meEnglish24·17 days agoI think these teens went above and beyond more than just “being kind to strangers”.
For the next few months, those teenagers were such a great help to me. Anytime I crutch-walked past them they would ask how I was and if I needed a hand with anything. They took my bins out for me and if they saw me at the corner store, they would let me cut in line ahead of them, so I didn’t have to stand around waiting as long.
I think my favorite quote from Richard Munoz was:
A lot of people were kind to me during that injury experience – and a few weren’t kind at all! – but by far the most helpful were those teens.
Stories like this absolutely have a place in the news (and especially in this community) as hopefully it inspires others to go above and beyond in being kind to strangers.

This isn’t a final decision if you took it that way.

We want people to attend their hearings, but getting arrested for showing up is sending the wrong message. Especially so for for those who have a good case.

Damnit, I just lost the game.
I had a 5 month streak going that time. So far my longest winning streak was a little over a year (from when I started actually tracking it).
Maybe you were upvoting things that Reddit was finding against their ToS?
I saw something about them previously warning users for things that they had been upvoting.
And, a fair warning, your upvotes and downvotes on the fediverse/Lemmy are public even if it’s not shown to you within the Lemmy interface itself.
