i accidentally misgendered someone in one of my recent shitposts and it was actually taken seriously by the mod team without being rude about it in any way, which ive never seen before anywhere
I tend to not really pay attention to user names or tags, so it's been a good reminder to me to be more intentional about being sure to use people's pronouns.
I use discord very rarely and each time it's a painful and infuriating experience. I swear it's the least user friendly software I've used in quite some time.
It acts like I'm a Russian spy every time I log in, so that's a lengthy process. Then I'm usually going, ok I can hear everyone so I'm in the right place! ... but I can't see what they're seeing so I'm in but I'm not in. Great. Also it took me for fucking ever to figure out how to log out. I was expecting a button at a top corner, but no, you have to go looking for that shit. (And I know, I know I will never log off but discord kept giving me notifications when my friends were doing things and I felt like I was being spied upon. And yeah, it's the internet, we're constantly being spied on, but don't rub my face in it!)
I'm really bad about not reading the username of who i'm responding to because of permanent r*ddit-brain, and the simple addition of pronouns beside the user name has helped me remember that I am responding to a living-breathing human, even if they ARE wrong and stupid and I hate them.
best pronoun-tagging solution I've seen on any social media, hands-down

Going between here and discord where pronouns are hidden in your user roles is painful. Like, just put it right there where everyone can see them.

I hate how it defaults to like 3 forms of notification. I GET IT PEOPLE ARE TYPING THINGS.
