In this case, tagging is something done manually and locally by the user of the extension (aka me), by going to the various subs (they’re divided politically) and verifying what people are saying (non-English, local memes, culture, local news, etc.). Tags can be modified if I find out the user was badly categorized.
I’ve also tagged different users that were involved in viral incidents (unknown details beyond that), where it seems a whole lot of people decided to pile up on a topic.
It’s interesting to see how much manipulation is going on in reddit. I’ve stopped interacting over there because of this. You just never know who is real, or a bot, or someone paid to post propaganda.
Edit: something I forgot to mention, and it’s relevant to this blocking of non-logged in users, is that the RES tags are persistent and don’t depend on an account (on my end). So I could (in the past) delete my reddit account, and still be able to see and apply tags. But now I can’t do it unless I’m logged in.
Yes, this is not me reporting people, or anything like that. Just something I started doing years ago when I noticed some users in popular, English-speaking subs saying things that were very similar to what was said in my country. Pretending, mostly by omission, to be from the US or other first world countries.
It’s also not something I do 24/7 because I have better things to do, lol! But I do dedicate an hour every day to this.
I see issues.

Ahh, so jt’s you doing the tagging of others, only visible to you.
