Until @Spoutible deals with the old-fashioned "he" universal pronoun on its site, I'm not coming back here. Come on. This hasn't been normal English usage for decades, and it transmits an entire universe of patriarchal attitudes. You expect women to stick around for this? Off to Bluesky or Mastodon

And for this observation I'm now being trolled by people who have "Never Bernie" in their bios. Which is a bit of an own goal, politically

Wow, not even on Twitter would I have had more trolls in response to this than other replies.

"Ok bye" is a clever response to my tweet? This is the problem here.

I'm expecting to be banned from this site in 3, 2, 1... And I was hopeful for it, too.

I've just had to block a 3rd unpleasant person, for a tweet that's less than 10 minutes old.

The response to my post here - and its tone is due to my having brought this issue up several times in the past using various different methods, to no avail, is unlike on other platforms.

While people replying are citing civility ("we don't talk like that here") they are being markedly uncivil.

One thing about Spoutible (IMO) is members are more loyal than on Twitter, so their rebukes are motivated by more complex issues e.g., don’t publicly diss their buddies. Chris is always a buddy.

Stay and watch the issue get addressed… something you won’t see elsewhere.

You have been told this is something they’re working on. Why won’t you admit you overreacted? And of course people are going to be upset - you haven’t interacted on here that much and you immediately go on the defensive.

Who says they're working on it?

What is this "overreacting" business?
