bluesky's new pronoun field only shows up when you are actively replying to someone which makes it pretty much useless because why would you use a third person pronoun in that context

@Ronflaix yeah but when are you most likely to be talking about someone
when you're replying directly to that person or when you're doing literally anything else?
the existing pronoun labelers show up all the time and also don't have a limit of 20 characters
like this
I don't need to fill my pronouns field because it already says my pronouns three times in every context
I guess I could add a fourth time for one specific context but why even spend the effort to do that
@ben@lubar.me moderation label pronouns are only visible for those who are subscribed to the labeler which means they do not show up at all unless you figure out which the Current One Is
@ben@lubar.me i was following one before but it died at some point and i haven’t found what the hot new one is
@charlotte the two I'm subscribed to are:

but I find that display name pronouns work the best
certainly not "pronouns that can only be seen when you're in a context where third person pronouns aren't used"
@ben some languages like french conjugate the subject's gender with adjectives or verbs, so in *that* situation I'd understand.
