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.

This website was built from the ground up to make a safer SM experience for Black folx, queer folx, women, etc. who are harassed on other sites. One gendered pronoun is not a bug that threatens site functionality, which is the main priority for Bouzy's small team. I'm sure it will be fixed in time.

Hope you're right. I had a real time exchange with Bouzy on here (or possibly Twitter) where I did bring this up with him directly, so I know he knows about it. There aren't that many landing pages on the site so it's just really weird

He responded to you hours ago stating that they are aware of the error and are actually rewriting the text on the entire website right now, which is the only reason it hasn't been fixed yet.
