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!
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.
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)
But that’s not what it looks like to you. It’s what you remembered it looking like. If it looked like that to you, you’d have a completely different experience of discord than anyone else. I didn’t downvote or anything, but you basically said “you’re wrong”, but they were correct.
Your comment could potentially have mislead others. People downvoted so it was less likely to be seen. When you noticed the downvotes, you acted like you were getting downvoted for admitting to an oversight. Even now you’re acting like you were just trying to “learn something” and pretending like you were never actually suggesting they were incorrect. It’s ok to just say you were mistaken. You weren’t downvoted for saying you were mistaken, you were downvoted for being wrong and potentially downvoted more for then complaining about downvotes.

No, I did NOT say that nor did I imply that. It is also pretty fucking arrogant of you to asssume everyone notices and remembers everything. Fuck, I even posted screen shots to show I tried to check to see what I was missing!
So you just responded for fun? You thought they were 100% accurate and you posted screenshots just to agree with them?
I did not assume everyone notices or remembers everything and even if I did how would that even relate to arrogance? I said it’s ok to be mistaken. You seem to be unable to process that. Really, good luck, because it seems like you’re going to continue to have a rough go of it.
I’ve seen your other comments, and it seems like you’re sour over getting downvoted because you weren’t able to notice a subtle difference that’s not easily obvious.
Personally, I like to be strict with the downvote button. It’s just something I picked up (and miss) from old Reddit: there used to be a strict culture on the site, which would lead to a high influx of relevant quality content.
In contrast, I saw a post on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world yesterday about the theistic breakdown of the American demographic. It was a cool graph, but not a shitpost; yet it had still gained more upvotes than downvotes.
Ultimately, I don’t think you should worry about it, as these votes matter even less on Lemmy than they do on Reddit.

No, I am sour because people can’t fucking read and insert what they think I’m saying instead of responding to what I wrote.
I didn’t feel the need to say it because @wander1236@sh.itjust.works had already written a reply explaining it. All I could have done was paraphrase their explanation and create unnecessary cruft.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you!
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 believe the yellow background highlight is the difference

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

You could have kept your pie hole shut when you saw that there was a response that clarified what I wasn’t seeing.
I did “keep my piehole shut”. I hadn’t replied to your comment. Instead, I replied to a different user.
Also, it is pretty apparent that you don’t want to have a respectful discussion. Disengage.
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.
“That cloud looks like a dinosaur to me.”
[The cloud wasn’t actually a dinosaur. Down vote this punk.]
Exactly this!
downvoting this purely cause it would be funni
Luv you too boo! 😘
I was incorrect about what something looked like to me?
Ok.
Try to make sure you’re in the right before calling other people stupid.

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
