 This woke idiocy is the cancer that kills projects.

 This is dumb. 
 Make bullying fun again. 
 Or just keep irrelevant shit out of protocols. 
 Me explican que significa eso de Vitor? 
 Vitor creó en el protocolo de nostr la posibilidad de agregar los pronombres, creo que en broma, pero al parecer no le gustó a algunas personas. 
 Gracias  
 Abandon truth to get more users. Sad.

 These are the last gasping breaths of a fad on its way out.  
 and thus the first great fork war of the nostr protocol began...

 AddPronouns requests should 302 to Bluesky. GTF. 
 This shows once more we should decentralize the protocol definition. It should not be contentious that various pronoun-loving client devs would like to coordinate the way of handling pronouns and it's no surprise that pronoun-hating client devs don't want to see this in the protocol definition. 
 Hard pass 
 Ageed 100%.  At my $dayjob I manage our Gitlab server, and Gitlab changed the default branch name from master to main sometime last year.  I dutifully changed the default back to master.  Nobody is offended by the branch being called master, and I refuse to participate in this idiotic fuckery. 
 People get prosecuted for “mis-gendering” in woke ruled nanny states.  As a free speech solution, nostr shouldn’t support enforcement of pronouns.  
These days, how many profiles do you see with vax emojis?  Pronouns won’t make it to the next election season. 
 Wait... is this serious? 
 Add trans to anything and everything goes to hell.
