Lemmy is not the only "player" on the fediverse.
Kbin doesnt show pronouns either. That or I cant find it.mattw3496@kbin.social 8 months ago
I agree with the others that the admin shouldn't have doubled down, but as someone using kbin.social via my phone's browser I don't see pronouns either.
This conflict is actually the first time that I became aware that some instances show pronouns, which I love. But that being said, as an enby I tend to default to they/them pronouns when dealing with the unknown, so I get it.

legitimately, yes, i do, to make sure i am gendering them correctly. especially if i had a client that didn’t display pronouns.

most people don’t. and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect them to.

Yeah, this whole argument seems to be about assuming a bunch of hostility because someone was unaware of things they had no reason to be aware of.

That much is fine. But a normal person would stop at that and apologize and move on, not double down on it by going “getting offended by that really isn’t helping your case here.”
An admin being like this is understandably a very bad look for the instance.
