    Out of 19 people elected, 6 mentioned moderation and/or trust & safety in their platform goals. 4 people mentioned ecosystem diversity. The remaining people mentioned a variety of goals.

    When I saw these results, I was was confused why some listed no pronouns at all. When I inquired about it, I was told that it was optional.

    Your concern about cisnormativity is totally valid, but I see little correlation with the mod tools? What improvements could be done on the technical side?

    ETA: thanks for sharing.

      well the statistic you show does make it clear that little people expressed interest in moderation and/or trust & safety.

      As for how I relate cisnormativity and the demographics of the board, I feel that people who may have no experience with harassment may not prioritize the construction of moderation tools.

      On the technical side, I’ve expanded here in another comment here.

        Not declaring pronouns doesn’t mean you’re cis. Could just be enby* and accepting of all pronouns

          I’ve seen a lot of people specify (any) or a combination in those cases but it is theoretically true, yes. (I don’t think that’s true here though)

            So “My Name [any/any]”?

            I’ve always wondered how to do that without offending folks

              Yeah, either that or [any]. I don’t know why people would be offended.

              Also, did you mean enby? I just realised you said nimby (not in my back yard) which is not quite the same thing lol
