Roles badges

[lypwig]

In some use cases it is useful to quickly know who got special privileges. It also improve governance transparency of the instance.

Here is some quick mock-up (the icon might be not adequate but you get the idea):

Note that there is just one icon on the images, but 2 icons should be used, one for the role moderator and another one for the role Moderator.

We should design a few things here :3

• [ ] Admin Badge (:shield:)
• [ ] Moderator Badge (:hammer:)
• [ ] Online/Offline Badge for everyone else (:traffic_light:)

i suggest having a few more badges including

• verified /official ( like the common blue tick) (admin of an instance could verify a user and grant this for example)
• email verified (like reddit email verified)
• donor/sponsor
• instance sponsor

Some of these are clearly quality of life improvements, would help in promoting the idea of a sponsorship model wherein a user would get a badge by a content creator because they want to acknowledge the donors support. The way private tracker websites use donor badges for users who have donated to site. usually they get benefits but other than that, just a warm fuzzy feeling. I am not suggesting going all youtube on this. Gamification should not be the end result and that does not work most of the time but private trackers have shown for years that a simple donor star beside the name works. Why cant it work in peertube also?

Probably add an id or class name in the HTML too. I wanted to customize the appearance of admins. Would be much easier if they can be identified in the code.

@dausruddin please create a dedicated issue so we can keep track of your interesting feature

If the user has many badges because he:

• has email verified (like reddit email verified)
• is donor/sponsor
• is instance sponsor
• is a Moderator

It might look something like this beside the name... which is pretty cool! Badge collectors would love it! ^ snapshot from Discord
