I came to post exactly what you said then duck out, so I’ll just add that Lemmy as a whole is fairly progressive but .world is largely centrist Americans, has multiple notable shit stirrers, and a few of them and their alts are already here agreeing with themselves.

So yeah, I’m not surprised this turned into a dumpster fire of " ‘brave’ cishets pontificating on their standards of pronoun etiquette in trans spaces".
