:sicko-hexbear: The Hexbear vanguard pioneers the way forwards by being first. I told quite a few people here that we'd see other platforms adopting this over time and that it would go mainstream. Nyeh.

:reddit-logo: are mad about it of course. :trans-gun:

      I forgot it’s not already everywhere else

      Soon it will be. Hexbear vanguard caused a few smaller sites to adopt it, then Discord adopts it, some other large sites will also adopt it. Before you know it this will become a standard feature.

        Do you have the names for those? I’m trying to compile a timeline of social media pronouns: https://hexbear.net/post/178775

          Oh god no I'm not that online. I've just noticed it happening several places over time. You see these ideas spread through the crowd over time until they become features that are so standard that it's called out when it doesn't exist.
