Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they’d be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.

I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?

Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It’s a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don’t appear on mobile).

Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn’t purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I’m not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I’d see what y’alls opinion on the matter is.

    This is an absolutely garbage take. “Anonymous” defaults to male in everyone’s mind because patriarchy is the basis of our society. Claiming everyone should just be “Anonymous” is a male supremacist and exclusionary of everything else position to take.

      Whoa there those are big words for an UFO sighting are you a conspiracy theorist or something? Lmao

      So you basically threw away everything that I said and fixated on the only word you don’t understand to attack with the only implanted knowledge you have that sits next to it in your brain folder lol

      Your argument is for the people of the rainbow, my argument is for everyone all the same as I said before if you don’t mind sharing all about yourself to everyone else then why would you mind the greedy corporations helping you out when selling your data it’s all the same they be sharing the same data as you want to force share with everyone but just not sharing any profit with you because you too want your data to be shared anyway, on the other hand there are people who simply don’t care wether you’re a he, she or even it as long as you have your personal thoughts and interests that’s all that matters and everyone is all the same online for us gender isn’t all that makes up a person and therefore it isn’t a big deal to innocently perfectly quote an old meme to someone from the different gender and get insulted and banned then because you didn’t change the quote to fit their gender.

      this is Lemmy after all not Reddit, why come here if you don’t want privacy I started to have this thought that you’re just on all social platforms to spread knowledge about your identity, pronouns and the gay people existence and only that, no matter where you are it’s all the same for you "I only want everyone know that I’m not a he/him I’m a she/her I absolutely want nothing more from this place other than that " to be honest I wouldn’t judge any instance owner to start helping you further spread knowledge about the rainbow people and make personal profit out of it by selling all of your data since you not just don’t mind but also want everyone to acknowledge it, again this is not Reddit this is Lemmy, the first people who built this concept didn’t think of making it just a social platform like all they made it a safe place away from personal greed where everyone is free to keep their privacy to their own with all the rights to be anonymous, you guys just came here and started forcing rules around forgetting the first concept build of this place, some instances ‘added’ the ability to have pronouns as a ‘feature’ not all instances have it or are able to see it so just don’t forget this fact. And I have no problem acknowledging your existence I just have a problem with you forcing your “obvious pronouns so don’t misgender me” rules forgetting the main reason that had this place to exist in the first place.

        whatever dumbass point you’re trying to get across isn’t landing because you write in borderline incoherent run-on sentences

        the fediverse isn’t explicitly about privacy btw, it’s about taking control from corporations who want to exploit us, and giving it to the community itself via decentralization. there’s absolutely no expectation to be a tinfoil hat weirdo on here, and if you want to cultivate a community that isn’t just a bunch of paranoid weirdos with nothing to talk about except opsec, then yes sharing (in this case the bare fucking minimum) about your identity is actually beneficial to, y’know, discussing things

        If you think I would read this shit after that first sentence you’re a fucking idiot, on top of being a supporter and legitimiser of a genocide.
