How do you use your user tags in your app? (lemmy.world)

So quite a few lemmy clients have a tagging feature for users. I use it quite constantly because I like to remember who I'm talking to. Though for some I just use it for descriptors. A few of you are listed as stubborn, a few of you are listed as don't engage, a few are Nice, or helpful, or Pug. I believe one of you is just listed as fish guy(don't remember why).

How do you all use your tagging system, if you do at all?

I use tagging for sorting media that falls into multiple categories and defies normal hierarchical methods. I didn’t know about tagging users on Lemmy though, but I don’t know that I honestly will use it ever. You’re all just random people talking into the void, hell, half (or more) of the people here may very well be bots, I don’t know. The idea of tagging people based on past interactions seems a bit weird to me I guess (not that I don’t see uses for tagging for organization in general).

Edit: actually, I don’t even know if user tags are supported by Voyager, the main app I use to access lemmy. So, that too.

I think it's just a bit more viable since with the size of Lemmy, it's inevitable you'll see another person again sooner or later, with reddit it may well be a useless feature though, and I'm actually not sure what the status of bots to humans is on lemmy currently
