similar to the kbin userscript I made this colorizes posts and comments by origin. kbin users/posts are dark blue, Beehaw (and any other restrictive moderation sites in the future) are red, local is left unchanged.

Great job, thank you!
Just one thing - it would be great if these rules would not work on strictly moderated instances themselves because there is no point of such highlighting there. We can configure it in userscript setting in UI. But it's better to have such logic right in the scripts itself. So far I have just added this additional condition to the block at the end:

if (isLemmy && !isStrictlyModerated(window.location.hostname)) {
GM_addStyle(...

I will mention, anyone that is using the light theme will have this broken. From what I have seen most people seem to be using the dark theme anyways so it's not that big of a deal but it is worth mentioning.

Thank you for the great userscript! It is quite nice to have a colour coded view of this.

pretty nice!

I wonder about these types of scripts and plugins promoting an in-group/out-group mentality, but I suppose we shall see.

I feel like the inclusion of highlighting users from heavily moderated instances could create that mentality, but I think it is quite valuable to have a colour coded view of who is using kbin and who is using lemmy. It's just somewhat interesting seeing which communities people from different federated platforms are interacting with.

As a user on a defederated instance, for me it's a reminder that even if I see one of their comments or posts on a non-beehaw instance, there's no point in replying because they'll never see it anyway.

I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT, that is actually quite a useful piece of information thank you for mentioning that. As I am also on a defederated instance (rip sh.it.heads) this will be useful.

case in point:

https://lemmy.world/post/200347 and https://beehaw.org/post/594642 have completely different comments
