You and LW are allowed to do whatever you want, you just shouldn’t be surprised when making borderline transphobic statements and refusing to clarify reflects badly on the instance.

If someone uses it as one, yeah it is.
Your personal stance, being that you are a community team member of LW, has a lot to do with it. That’s who I’m asking, not you the person.
If the move had nothing to do with pronouns and you’ll continue to enforce rules about neopronouns, how do you feel about one of the LW community team mods making statements like this about them? Do you feel confident that they will always let you enforce neopronoun rules if they decide that it’s hurting LW?
For clarity are you suggesting that some pronouns shouldn’t be respected based on the judgement of the mods?

I think you’re mixing Beehaw up with Hexbear.
It is so, so very hard to feel like bringing back public whipping and the stocks is a bad idea when there are some people who deserve it so much.
As long as it’s completely legal for American companies to sell the data that’s allegedly so sensitive to anyone they please, the law does nothing except allow the president to target apps selectively. If it’s the propagandizing via the algorithm that’s such a huge concern, that’s still completely legal too.
Democrats shutting down TikTok over a do nothing bill is probably the stupidest shit they could have done with Biden’s last year in office.
It's really weird to act like Biden didn't want the ban and was some hapless third party to all this when before they even had the vote he was saying he'd sign it.
Bills don't get an automatic veto override if enough people vote yes, and an override doesn't make him sign it. He signed it because he wanted to, and in doing so he put the Democrat brand on it. He could have made them hold another vote to actually override his veto and make it clear that he didn't want this, he could have spoken out against it in any way before the bill was passed and on his desk, but he didn't, and now that it's wildly unpopular for some reason the entire DNC is just:
I wish I could have a bite of that through the screen! It looks exactly like the real thing.
You seen pics of the streets after they implemented congestion pricing? I lived there for years and never saw anything like it.
On one hand, yeah, on the other hand Biden literally signed the law banning it. If Democrats didn't want Tik Tok being banned to be associated with them and to give Republicans an easy, obvious win by unbanning a wildly popular app, then they could have just... not done that. This was just completely an unforced error on the part of the Democrats.
Mods, they're posting IRL pics of me!!
