    I believe they do, yes. It’s done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.

        I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.

          Unverifiable maybe, unenforceable, no. They simply ban anyone who refuses.

              The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.

                I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don’t suggest a specific one.

                Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.

                  And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They’ll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone’s time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That’s the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.

                    argument to happen and someone to complain about it.

                    Yes, that’s how moderation works.

                    This way transphobes will get triggered

                    I don’t think as many transphobes have a problem with identifying as their birth gender as you think. Also does nothing you stop the bad actors and concern trolling. Might as well have “Black Gay Man” as an option.

        “Any” is probably fine. It tends to be my choice. That said, you’re better off just not using Hexbear. Ya know, unless you’re chill with things like genocide.

        It’s pretty common for hb users to have “any/all” or “none/username”. It’s not a hindrance.

      Until some random doxes people.

      You’d think, after seeing bitching posts about privacy one after the other folks would be concerned.

        Steps 2 and 3 involve denying several genocides and then calling for genocides based on skin color and global locality.

          Are many of them from a single country?

          I’m kinda amazed they’re so unanimous in some of their political opinions.

            You’d think that would make one question wether their beliefs truly are their own, or rather - our beliefs

            Going by spelling and phrase choices, I’d say the majority of them are youngish Americans who’re still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren’t just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.

            I’m not convinced they’re even human if I’m being completely honest. Learning language models aren’t new in the propagandasphere.
