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.
I don't honestly understand the rage with pronouns, I would've made an apology and go by the proper pronouns shown if I was that er/lemmitor and move on instead of raging about it. Or just not use a gendered noun but what do I know anymore?
That would require a hint of humility, acknowledgement of other people that are different yet still valid, and the willingness to change for the better rather than dig in and wage culture war.
