Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns?

  Were talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.

  @qyron@sopuli.xyz says that @qyron@sopuli.xyz would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @qyron@sopuli.xyz’s back.

  It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)

    Why is being witty the default stance, instead as an honest statement?

      Because what you said doesn’t make any sense if you were being serious.

      Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.

        If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.

        But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.

        Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.
