I thought this is one of the " og picture is gray but your mind tricks you into seeing colors type of shit" except I don't see color so I was just stupidly trying anyway until I seen the comments and then understood. lol
Not "should be" but sometimes everyday users would just quote and go without the extra effort of checking into everyone's profile before the already wasted effort of doing the comment then changing the quotes based to fit for everyone's gender perfectly so the easier solution is just considering everyone a catfish and just move on it's just a quote of a meme anyway for all that effort to waste
I was just having an argument with someone that got banned from a Lemmy instance because a meme from 30 years ago got him banned because the meme says " the man, the legend.. "and op was a she/her, while she/her was ignorant of the meme she/her didn't even bother to understand the old memes and got the dude a Perma ban from the Lemmy instance for " internationally misgendering " she/her. Moral of the story no matter what generation you are or how meme knowledgeable you may be there's always a she/her that will hurt you with the ignorance badge.
Or just quoting a P.T. Barnum as most people don't like changing quotes for whatever reason and using what is known to be a famous saying is definitely not "intentionally malicious" it's mostly the ignorant's fault for not getting the innocent joke, plus not all Lemmy mobile apps show stuff like flags and pronounces so maybe consider that as well on your side before dropping the death sentence..
I mean in my "very long" years of experience never seen in an anonymous ungoverned platform someone intentionally revealing any peace of personal information about themselves like in hacking platforms for example someone calling themselves "he who hacks" or "her majesty" or such where those are only simple usernames but yet reveal enough to minimize the search area and along with the comments data could trigger enough data to start and osint attack on the user and then eventually dox them..
if you're obligating everyone to acknowledge your personal data don't be nagging when companies be selling your data and making profit out of it since there are people who like Force feeding their informations onto others to be aware of, hell I won't even blame Lemmy instance owner to sell the users data by then.
I'll be talking about myself and the majority of users that immigrated to this social platform based on the idea that it's ungoverned, legally safe for all users and anonymous so when a user Calles someone bro or pal it's if not always meant as gender neutral same as in a random people calling you bro with the meaning of that he/she descending from your mom or dad, like yourself, the logic is the same and intentions were pure, plus with the culture of respecting everyone's right of privacy you'd learn to treat everyone as equal and the same, with the only difference is the mentality and ideas held by individuals not by gender as the only special treat to define a user.
We need to understand code and the logic to write one but we don't need to spend an eternity to keep up with all the updates and rewriting the already written codes so we need someone else to speed up that process for us to make our ideas reality without the extra effort that could now be avoided with ai all we need to do is fix and polish the errors in the code, hear it's suggestions for the work plans and improve them because honestly ai is still not that smart to figure out everything on its own and by then we be living the boss life with ai being the wage-slave that we don't even need to pay.
Well I don't know how to whistle but I can make my lips vibrate so.. I don't know if that logic is orgasm proof or what
