@pixelfed this should be a free response text field and not a preprogrammed list

@pixelfed Why would I want to though! I'm here for art, not looking for partner.

@pixelfed This is, however, pretty weird. Pronouns can mean two things:
- using specific words to talk to someone, or
- reading someone using specific words.

I can't just see a user case when someone offended by these words and therefore avoiding people using these could just meet the problem.

What I see some people actually going to people using these words, reading them, writing to them and explaining them that they shall behave differently just because s/he wants it so.

That's about normal at age 3. Beyond that it seems like a real mental problem. I mean, go see a doctor, your life may be in danger. I worry for you.

Any time pronouns come up, I only have one question: how does this work across languages, if it does?

Sasha Sorokin ✨, yes, I was talking about they/them and custom ones. It feels like there aren't any abstract meanings behind pronouns like "fae/faer", and that people choose them simply based on how they look or sound. Which makes them untranslatable. And this is further complicated by languages like Russian where words change suffixes depending on the gender of the noun they describe.

Smithereen has this too, as well as cases and correct pluralization, I can't stand this "добавил(а) 3 друзей(друга)" everywhere. I do have "they" strings in English for when the gender is unknown, but I try to guess the gender from the name in Russian and use male if that fails.

@pixelfed If anyone wants to know how to set pronouns in Mastodon now, the pronouns field is no longer available in account settings. Instead, in the profile settings, under the "extra fields" heading, users must add a label with the name "pronouns" and the content of what they'd like the field to show, e.g., "he/him".
