The incident in question occurred when someone (a programming.dev admin, specifically), whose client hides the pronouns, used ‘they’ to refer to a user with she/her pronouns.
Aaaah okay, then my apologies for the ignorant take. Wasn’t aware of the full scope of the incident.
I run into the same thing because of the app I use to connect to Hexbear on mobile, but I would accept being corrected and move on using the preferred pronouns. It’s not that hard.
accept being corrected and move on using the preferred pronouns. It’s not that hard.
this is 100% fine and there’d be no hard feelings if that had happened, but instead the admin in question whipped out the ol’ “getting offended is a bad look!!” card instead
