Increase the pronoun limit (hexbear.net)

There is currently a 2 pronoun limit. I have talked with a some people over the months who have wished to have more than that.

As far as I am concerned, simply removing the line and going back to just an 80 char limit (which depending on the length of the pronoun sets limits you to a max of about 10/11) is good (and I would happily work on the ui to add more dropdowns if needed). But if that doesn't work lets figure out what else we can do.

+1, why not allow people to enter their own pronouns? It seems better than trying to capture every single possibility in a list.

at one point this was floated along with changeable names and it seemed we'd have issues with reactionaries doing bad things quickly, it seems like @marcie@lemmy.ml ends up banning a ton of people on lemmy.ml for many reasons sometimes names
