    That looks like screenshot from any user to me. The highlighting is the same as me taking a screenshot of a comment where I @ someone else. It also looks the same when I see someone else’s comment @ someone else.

    Edit: thank you all for down voting me for admitting that I didn’t notice the difference in the background and replied thinking they might be referring to the name highlighting. Clearly I must have been disagreeing with the comment I replied to and not just trying to learn something!

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Unless I’m missing something it’s just stupid Lemmy hive mind

        Because they’re incorrect. The original message has a yellow tint in the background, which is only present for accounts that get mentioned.

          Apparently I’m wrong about what something looks like to me.

            Well what you said wasn’t exactly an opinion, it was an incorrect statement. The yellow border indicates that the person who was pinged took the photo.

        Try to make sure you’re in the right before calling other people stupid.

          They are right that the hive mind is stupid for down voting a post that states they don’t see what the other person sees. I still can’t even tell the screenshot in the post has a yellow tint, but take others words for being able to tell the difference.

            Guys, fellas, dudes, and I mean that in an explicitly gendered way:

            Shut up you’re all dumb, everyone is except for me.

            Thank you. I still don’t see the difference, but at least someone explained it after my comment

              The highlighting is really hard to see without a contrast from the regular background color, and to be honest I never noticed the bright yellow stripe down the side.

      The message in the OP has a yellow tint to the background along with a yellow line on the left.

      dont worry about downvotes, everybody will at some point be downvoted, valid reason or not. I know it feels bad, but everyone makes mistakes and it’s totally normal to be wrong sometimes ❤️
      Lemmy doesn’t have karma for a reason :)

      PS, it might be best etiquette to strike out your text like this so people understand that what you were saying was incorrect (2 of the ~ symbol on either side)

    • I upvoted, but don’t worry about karma on this site. It doesn’t mean anything here, most people & apps don’t care about some form of “total karma”.

      All things considered it also didn’t mean anything on Reddit, but people get a bit egotistical on there.

        I don’t worry about it, just bugs me when people get downvoted for being unaware of something and admitting to it. “Here’s why I don’t understand” tends to be inferred to mean disagreement.
