I found it on a couple comments curiosity got the better of me I thought I may as well ask
I believe it means banned user
Thats what I thought but I wanna be 100% sure
Did you only see them on older comments?
Yeah
It should be easy to verify - open the public modlog (https://lemmy.world/modlog) and find a random user that has been banned recently, view their profile / comments and check if the icon shows up. If the icon really means that they are, in fact, banned, then it should show up every time.
....that being said, I've never seen that icon before. Are you using an app or the desktop version? Do you get a mini pop up when you hover the mouse pointer over the icon?
I'm using jeboa on android
Hm... the only related info I can find is that it is called a "no account(s)" icon here: https://fontawesomeicons.com/svg/icons/no_accounts#ex-tab3 ...but no explanation about what exactly it means in the context of jerboa/lemmy/android.
