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

the existing pronoun labelers show up all the time and also don't have a limit of 20 characters

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 The answer is probably because "Someone vibe-coded it that way"
@zalasur they vibe coded it the day after the US election which is the funniest part
maybe they had some other feature planned for if the election had gone the other way
@ben They probably had something planned like special symbols to represent some aspect of your identity. Pink triangle if you were gay, Star of David if you were Jewish, that sort of thing.
@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
@ben some languages like french conjugate the subject's gender with adjectives or verbs, so in *that* situation I'd understand.
