There's a massive difference between the self-selection for surveys and the self-selection for being on Lemmy, and I was here for that one. People didn't like needing to assign them to themselves for various reasons (including reactionary ones) and various other things, but people didn't misgender other users or mock them for having such-and-such pronouns (though a couple of times specific sets were taken as gags that weren't).
And all I'm saying is the liberal sense of etiquette means they just won't voice their transphobia to a person like they might on a survey, same as how they wouldn't jeer at a black person even if they would get nervous seeing one (1) black teenager walking down the street.
No, I don't. I think they'll probably stick to "well don't you know castro killed people like you lmao?" and gems like that.

liberal sense of etiquette doesn't mean much on an anonymous internet forum
what do you think all of those "removed by mod" comments on that post were, or even some that weren't removed like "Can we go back to focusing on something that matters"?
