Every day I thank the Voyager dev for user tags…

I’ve had them tagged as “bOTh SiDEs r bAd” for months now, and it has virtually always held true. Nearly every single time I see a post from them, it is some sort of “but but but Democrats caused this. We should be blaming them instead of the people who actually voted for it” type of rhetoric.
Holy shit brilliant, thank you
lol twinsies

I’ll bet $20 they voted for Jill Stein to “save Gaza.”
But ask how them how they feel about Russia's genocide in Ukraine and they will become curiously defensive probably lol.
I’m on mobile using the Voyager app. How do I do this? Thanks!
Long press on their username, then “Edit Tag”. Once the tag is made, that Edit screen will have a little comment button. Pressing it will take you to the comment you used to tag them. Handy for when you can’t remember why someone is tagged a certain way.
Couldn’t get it to work at first but figured it out. In Voyager app: Settings -> User Tags (toggle on).
After that I do what you said. You rock.
This. Thank you for asking, I would never have found this setting if you didn’t.
Woah! Thanks. Been using Voyager for a while and never really read the notes on tagging or even thought to long press on a user name.
I appreciate this educational moment!
