What I’m looking for specifically is adding tags to users, highlighting their names and a vote counter next to their names.

Sync has user tagging and highlighting if you pay monthly for Ultra.

Connect and Boost has user tagging.

Lemmy isn’t to bad right now, but I’m definitely seeing a trend of people I’d like to avoid and or at least be weary of.

I prefer not using the block function since it remove to much context sometimes.
