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.

      both sides

      “Both sides” sophistry rhetoric was old and tired a decade ago. It’s very obvious where you stand behind that crumbling mask of enlightened centrism.

          Bad bot.

          Everyone You Disagree With Is A Bot/NPC, A Bedtime Story For Scratched Liberals.

          You don’t even understand the context of the discussion here.

          Jordan Peterson already wore out that gimmick. Find another one, bucko. up-yours-woke-moralists

            Nah, just the accounts that come out of nowhere to post irrelevant nonsense that has nothing to do with the discussion.

            Jordan Peterson already wore out that gimmick.

            I don’t follow propagandists such as him, but you must be a big fan to be so familiar with him, which is entirely unsurprising to me as your entire instance appears to be 4chan users doing a poor job of cosplaying as leftists.

              Lmao at the fucking audacity to post the most common drivel known to man and then call @UlyssesT@hexbear.net a bot
              I could train an LLM on Reddit and have it spit out your dime-a-dozen takes after 5 minutes. I’ve got no clue where to start if I wanted a machine to spit out his wordslurries.

              That’s typical though, it’s always the most average NPC-types that think they’re big thinkers with big thoughts the rest of us haven’t heard before. Your type will wander into any conversation and say “heh, but what about [thing everyone knows], bet you didn’t consider that!” smuglord and if you get any pushback it’s obviously not because people are capable of independent thought - you aren’t, and you’re so smart!

              In conclusion fuck your mother

                  Hahaha I tried to find a way to express your ability to create funny new phrasings, while still sticking to theme of the text (drivel, spit, etc) without being mean. Didn’t quite work sadly meow-hug

              just the accounts that come out of nowhere

              I’ve been around for years. I existed outside of your bubble and you can’t banish me with solipsism or fantasies of being the Main Character while pretending that people you disagree with are bots/NPCs or whatever you want to fantasize about.

              The fact that you so quickly dehumanize people you argue with just screams cryptofascist tendencies. You’d love to wear the armband and put “bots” in mass graves, wouldn’t you? scared-fash

              your entire instance appears to be 4chan users

              You say this while being that mad that pronoun preferences exist somewhere that you do not approve of.

                Lmao I’ve interacted with plenty of hexbear users but this comment takes the cake as one of the most unhinged, off the wall comments I’ve ever read.

                Congrats for being on lemmy for years, but that has nothing to do with anything said here, nor does pronoun preference.

                It’s no wonder you all need to travel in packs. Without your fellow cult-like cosplayers manipulating the discussion with your blatant falsehoods and fabrications, you’d find zero support and be all alone and on display as the charlatans that you are.

                  Not fooling me.

                  I’ve interacted with plenty of hexbear users

                  You aren’t demonstrating any knowledge or understanding, just entrenched liberal smugness.

                  most unhinged

                  Liberals try to describe those that disagree with them without ableism challenge. Difficulty level: “DAE LE UNHINGED.”

                  cult-like cosplayers

                  Being a status quo defending default state smug bootlicker for western hegemony doesn’t require a costume, just the belief that you’re smart by accepting whatever the powerful decide to do.

                  you’d find zero support and be all alone

                  Is Hexbear a “hivemind” that “travels in packs” or sad lonely people? Make up your mind; otherwise you’re just barking out ur-fascist “the enemy is both too strong and too weak” talking points.
