Have you considered opening a community here, and pointing to it from your sub?

It's literally in the first line

Nice!

no one should have to reconcile their preferences for you to take them seriously.

Then should we just stop using 1st person pronouns altogether? I guess that's the main issue here, even though the mod could be power tripping, most of the people here don't understand why OP doesn't just use "I", as it's the neutral, inclusive pronoun that everyone has been using in English to designate themselves for centuries.

Using the correct pronouns to refer to someone in 3rd person is important as English uses gender pronouns, and that should definitely be respected.

Confusing people using another pronoun instead of I and not even using 1st person forms "Drag is" rather than "Drag am" for no visible benefit, is what is the issue here.

Reminds me of this thread, where the OP was gendered as "goddess" and asked people to capitalize their pronouns https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14491263

Also, I will capitalize “you” for You as an act of politeness, but I very strongly disagree with characterizing this as “misgendering”, even after reading Your “Introduction to capitalised pronouns” post. Yes, grammar is socially defined and arbitrary. For example, the only reason African-American Vernacular English is labelled “improper” is because so many (white) people with power say so — there’s nothing inherently worse or better about it. However, it’s still necessary to reach consensus on the meaning of words, else no one could be understood.

I just had a quick look and could only find quotes such as

"I would not..."

Which would actually be consistent with their logic (using "they" as they allowed in a comment below)

As it's a Lemmy setting, it's per account.

Not sure if Voyager allows similar feature for all accounts at once

i don’t know why bill is a common shortening of william, but i don’t refuse to call bills by their chosen name.

That's a first name, not a pronoun. Or you never use "you" when you talk to Bill? Bill does not use "I" when he needs to talk about himself?

the other thing is you can just choose to not interact, like genuinely no one is forcing you to do anything here.

The objective of this community is to identify whether mods are power tripping. Identifying them helps the platform as a whole, identifying potential trolls as well

Lol, you have other comments on your profile from like 2 days before this where you refer to yourself in normal pronouns, you can’t even be consistent.

You should probably quote those if you mention them

I'm very supportive to use correct pronouns for 3rd person.

This user seems to want to take use neopronouns 1st and 2nd person too.

What is the issue with "I" and "you"? Everyone defining their own pronouns for those two, while they are gender neutral, seems confusing.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Wow, that's serious

I wasn't sure you had seen it, I assumed you didn't want to go to Reddit ha ha

Aaaah makes sense
