What's the little red box on posts?

I’ve been through the settings area and can’t find what the red box is for. Can anyone help this old coot?

Not sure if Facebook links also show up blue.

These little color squares are one of my favorite new features. Sometimes I have time to watch a video but I often don’t. Super-helpful to know without clicking on it.
