      Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one.

      The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.

          You read your moral and intellectual superior explain reality to a bunch of morons. Don’t pull this “we speak other languages” excuse because it’s 1000% bullshit and you should be embarrassed to think it let alone say it.

          People, nearly entirely men, assume maleness by default and it has nothing to do with language. It is just morons being morons. My joke about locking people up highlights your unfathomable idiocy in assuming gender when talking to others.

            Yeah…but then what should i do? Many people have as a mother tongue a language that is gendered (the case for many langs in europe and south america since they come from latin) and usually male is used as standard when you don’t know the interlocutor gender or is used to describe a group that has 2 or more genders.

            Saying something like

            People who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway

            Is just wrong because you are just blaming innocent people for doing something they have been doing all their lives for reasons beyond their control.

        Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.

      Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.

      Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.

      The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
