Owner badges are distracting

[graue]

I'm the co-admin of a tiny Mastodon server. The new "Owner [server name]" badges showing on all posts by me and my co-admin are pretty distracting and unnecessary in my opinion. Someone being an admin on their server just isn't relevant that much of the time.

I wasn't sure if I should open a bug report for this kind of subjective design feedback, but I'd prefer that these be removed. Thanks again for Phanpy.

I'll be removing the role badge if it's yourself. But the badges will still be visible for your co-admins, is that okay? 🤔

They could be made less "intrusive", while left in place as they are. In my opinion, I think they just stand out too much. Maybe coming up with something subtler?

Are they shown for all servers, or only for admins on one's own server? What's the rationale for including them in contexts other than profile?

@graue roles are only shown on accounts from the server you're logged-in. They don't federate. The higher visibility is for combatting phishing, inspired by Pachli https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/07/30/2.15.0-release.html#combat-phishing-by-highlighting-roles-on-accounts

I'll try make it less intrusive 🙇‍♂️

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thank you!
