That would be counted as "non-voting" (see Ukr, Afg, Ven). Abstain means the rep was there and voted "abstain"

I don't think there is. The transgender flag is for anyone that is trans. There are transfemme and transmasc specific flags (though they aren't in Unicode so they can't be used like I do the trans flag). Do note that transfemme / -masc does not mean transgender woman and man, they describe how one would like to present and/or express themselves.

Browsers will collapse white space, line breaks are converted to spaces.

Jerboa does not collapse white space, and instead rendered the display name with the line breaks. But, one possible reason is that, the area for usernames/display names can only display 1 line, so all of the pronouns got cut off.

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

There aren't specific pronouns. One can just use the display name option to add pronouns

I do! And they isn't one of them...

Besides that, I do accept that OP couldn't see my pronouns, it isn't their fault that I deliberately tried to fuck with my display name, and that their app then honours the newlines I put in there but truncates it to one line.

I use they/them as a default. I'll catch myself in using them and go "wait, what is this persons pronouns" and check, on platforms like Lemmy that have it, their display name for pronouns, and if there aren't any, then bio. If neither have any pronouns I'll use they/them. If there are pronouns I will not use they/them unless listed.

A cool book I like is This Soviet World. It shows the Soviet Union as experienced by the author in the 1930s.

Technical in what way?

It used to be that there was no limit on how many you could have (just that the display name cannot be more than 80 chars). But then makotech added some code to only take the 2 first pronoun sets that is sent to the server. I asked if this could be reverted, and they (mako/admins) said no.

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Only two sets. I asked for more but they said no.

Every time Im making an epub, I keep coming across comments where I want to throw it at someone, but I can't since it isn't finished yet.

Oh yea, you asked me to do Elementary Principles of Philosophy, so of course I'm making Soviet Democracy.

No where did you get 7500??? Holy shit, that would be nearly 10 million people. (assuming somewhere around 160 million total pop)
