Personally, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. If they’re rude, I give them an orange or red coloured tag. Everyone has bad days, after all. But if I see they already have a red coloured tag, I just block them instead. It goes the other way too though, kindness puts you closer towards green.
I think many people have a system like this. It’s a small community, often it’s the same repeat troublemakers being caustic. I can’t speak to how others use the tags, though.
I dunno, it takes like 10 taps and I’ve tagged 30 people ever. I do it maybe twice a week and it’s not like it requires much upkeep. Maybe I made it sound like a frequent activity?
Very similar process here. I’ve yet to block anyone as far as I remember, but I see red tags, I know to scroll past and ignore. Or if I see it in a thread I’m reading, I know not to engage if it’s bad faith or clearly just unpleasant, even if I have to read it to understand what follows. Wherever I see green or blue, I’ll stop and read even if it seems uninteresting, because those are the people that have proven insightful and empathetic or whatever else it was that made me tag. I usually write the description too in the tags.
Perhaps worth noting though, I’m not sure these tags are a built in lemmy or equivalent feature, or rather a client thing. I use voyager if someone’s interested.

That’s wild to me. I don’t think incoild be bothered with tags. Or caring that much.
