My pronouns are He / Him, I apologize, I don't typically use Lemmy except for moderation actions or watching subs that I follow, I've updated my profile to add them as you're right, it's incredibly useful for normalizing the use of pronouns and I proudly do so at work, on Telegram, and Discord, but forgot to here.

I didn't want to approach it except for raising the concern because I'm unsure and unaware, but I have had to address poor and toxic interactions with other Hexbear users outside of the community you mentioned. I don't want to gatekeep anyone from any communities, but I don't want to see people end up getting harassed as a result of negative interactions that seem to be readily apparent in other areas of Hexbear. I'm happy and hope to be wrong and that the community there you mentioned is safe, but I don't know, so have caution and want to present that.
