@BenLee this sounds great, but it belies the greater social narrative that is happening around pronouns. They currently represent more than ‘inclusivity’. Bill C-16 in Cananda came close to criminalizing not using the correct pronoun. It seems fair for community users to see this and wonder if that type of enforcement is going to come to this non political technology product. Many contemporary thinkers suggest that the introduction of novel pronouns is a way to control thought and compel speech.
Since this came as an official Coda release, it is fair to ask - is this now part of the community guidelines? Should we check each maker profile before responding in the community? Will posts be censored or users kicked off the platform for wrongspeak? It seems that has already happened - @James_Longley1 says his first post was censored for wrongthought.
I’ve never seen this feature requested, although many things come up repeatedly. so it seems fair to ask why this was prioritized over other things the community is requesting (https://coda.io/pack-requests) and begs curious minds to ask what is being signaled and is politics entering what has been a neutral platform?
