To bring it in line with official Lemmy terminology, this should be used instead. The star symbol should probably also be a shield instead of a star, and it should also not be displayed if the comment is from someone other than you.

    I thought about this even more and I still hate “Speak as moderator”. Although it is now much clearer what the action does, it does little to explain why one might perform the action. It’s like calling a power button a “circuit closer”. Yes a lot of power buttons technically close a circuit it sucks as a name for an end user.

    So going back to “Speak as moderator”, I thought about why someone might want to do this and I think it most cases you want to use “Speak as moderator” to announce something that is important that you want users to take seriously. Thus I think naming the button “Mark comment as important” is a way better descriptor.
