posting here because I don't want to draw attention to myself

these don't save, the save button does nothing:

  • [they/them]
  • [they|them]
  • [they\them]
  • [they-them]
  • [they_them]
  • (they/them)
  • (they|them)
  • (they\them)
  • {they/them}

even foreign brackets fail

  • 【they/them】
  • 〈they/them〉
  • 《they/them》
  • 「they/them」
  • 『they/them』
  • 〔they/them〕

non-brackets also fail, and look stupid

  • !they/them¡
  • #they/them#
  • Othey/themO

this one "saves" but never appears, and when I go back to settings it's gone:

  • <they/them>

this one saves and appears, but I want brackets!

  • they/them

meanwhile, variants of he and she both work

it's like they have some kind of regex filter lol

      I'm pretty sure we have a massive character limit for the @'s we can set and pronouns aren't included in that so ours can get really long, but lemmy.ml has quite a small character limit

      Edit: yeah I was just poking around with the pronouns settings and I think this is the largest set of pronouns you can get: "[none/use name, comrade/them]" which comes to 29 characters not even including the username itself (30 characters if you count the space between the @ and the pronouns)

        I like big PRONOUNS and I cannot lie, you other they/thems can't deny, but when a they walks in with a itty bitty face and says "this is a comfortable space" you get SPRUNG
