Pronouns have been reverted from the NIP repo.

The way to get pronouns on nostr if you want them is to ask your client devs to add them, not yolo merging it into NIPs.

Clients and users are already free to add them if they want which I fully support.

Don't play politics in the repo please


:shakingeyes:


"Don't play politics in the repo, please" is such a low key badass statement.


The point is to have a standard way of accomplishing a task so that when and if multiple clients plan on implementing it, they're doing it the same way.

The best way to implement this is Alex Gleason's option though. That way it's more versatile.


My pronouns are fuck/that gay shit


This can be said for hundreds if not thousands of possible fields. Not a single client has done it yet. The point of the NIP repo is to define defacto standards already in the wild, not hypothetical plans.

There are many more people using monero addresses in profile metadata today and yet nobody is just merging that as a standard, even though it actually already is one.

This was clearly a politically driven PR, it wasn't about protocol standards.


Fuckin’ A


I thought it was a joke to trigger woke people


I thought it was a funny sarcastic joke.... But maybe that was the autism talking...

This was my impression too, seeing how iirc, this was where it originated...

It was woke people scheming to advance their politics


It was literally accompanied by a clown emoji...

That was part of his scheme, present it as a joke so nobody takes it seriously then have rabble unilaterally merge it after no comments come in


Once a client implements this feature then you'll be all for this change?

Ditto has already implemented it 😁


I am for people doing whatever the hell they want with their own notes and clients and relays


👏 well done


Ditto implemented custom fields not pronouns in the base object


That's what I said. I like Alex's implementation. It's more inclusive, allowing for a wide variety of options.


:handshake:


Thank you.


Yeah that was pretty dumb. If people want to share pronouns thats fine, there's plenty of ways to do it.


Onward 🫡
