Have you tried it? It got merged 3 weeks ago and is a bit hidden. You have to go to a user's profile page, click "More" and then "Edit note".

I use it to attach the emojis to users that I like, dislike... Users who offer particularly great advice. Users who ask a lot of questions and then ghost everyone in the comments by never engaging with the discussion or follow-up questions. Clowns...

I would say this makes me a bit more at ease once I have a negative encounter on the platform. I can just mark the users and be sure I don't make the same mistake again. And I make sure to factor in positive encounters, too, so I know whom to pay attention to and invest some time in a good answer. I'm not sure where this is going long-term. In the few weeks I've been using it, I randomly had some note pop up and remind me both to be nice, or to ignore other discussions.

It does not render properly on my Android Firefox though I successfully got it to work by switching to Landscape.

I could not recall how to upload an image using PieFed - I think I can't, at least on mobile? - but here is a screenshot using a Lemmy instance as a surrogate:-):

The More button wraps, but the menu tries to go where the unwrapped position was, leaving it almost entirely off the screen.

I love the idea. I don't think it's too buried at all - this isn't something people may do all that often, so this seems a nice spot for it to go to imho.:-)
