Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they'd be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.

I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?

Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It's a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don't appear on mobile).

Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn't purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I'm not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I'd see what y'alls opinion on the matter is.

    Tbh honest when online gender is just a myth everyone is just a typing bot no one is actually whatever gender they think they are and stupidly everyone who judged you on those comments is either didn't know the whole point of the Fediverse or has forgotten, because one of the main reasons that founds the whole existence of this place is anonymity from companies earning money selling our data, the fediverse is an escape from the company greed therefore there's no he or she we're all equals here and it's valid to say " the man, the legend.. as it is to say way to go sis.. " as we're all just free anonymous accounts as should be and we need to delete the gender concept maybe starting with using gender neutral terms online until everyone's comfortable with the idea because to be banned or have your account deleted for misgendering another user is just crazy and defeats the whole fediverse concept.

      This is an absolutely garbage take. "Anonymous" defaults to male in everyone's mind because patriarchy is the basis of our society. Claiming everyone should just be "Anonymous" is a male supremacist and exclusionary of everything else position to take.

            You did the right thing. It's a lot of bullshit about "oh, you list your pronouns? You must be fine with corporations selling your data" and then at the end there seems to be a bit of "hexbear showed up late to the fediverse party and is ruining everything", which is, of course, pretty much directly opposite of the truth.

              Hexbear existed 2 years before everything else? Fucking wild. This loser's account is literally 3 years younger than my hexbear account and 2.5 years younger than my Lemmy.ml one and he thinks we're the late ones?

              The only "ruining" I'm doing here is ruining his bullshit fuckoff attempt to associate lgbt and gender with being a corporate thing, it's fucking nonsensical. Dude deserves to lose teeth.

              As I've said else where in the thread, Hexbear has some high quality contributors, I'm glad y'all decided to federate.

          whatever dumbass point you're trying to get across isn't landing because you write in borderline incoherent run-on sentences

          the fediverse isn't explicitly about privacy btw, it's about taking control from corporations who want to exploit us, and giving it to the community itself via decentralization. there's absolutely no expectation to be a tinfoil hat weirdo on here, and if you want to cultivate a community that isn't just a bunch of paranoid weirdos with nothing to talk about except opsec, then yes sharing (in this case the bare fucking minimum) about your identity is actually beneficial to, y'know, discussing things
