@igeljaeger
Thanks, agreed.
@fluffy
I am neither hostile nor trying to convince anyone of anything. They told me the gender they expect, and I use it, nothing more.
@fluffy
What do you feel was abusive about my comments? He expressed to me he uses male as her gender, so I agreed. Didnt seem much more to say, not sure that counts as being curt. If there is more he wuld like me to elaborate on the topic I'd be happy to.
@igeljaeger So you prefer people refer to you as male? Sure I'l be sure to keep that in mind.
@angristan I do agree with you, but if not up to admins at all then whats the point of having disributed instances in your mind?
@igeljaeger Which people? I generally prefer to honor whatever gender a person announces them as. As for sex I usually have little need to know that.
@igeljaeger I only saw you mention your sex in your bio not your gender, sorry.
@Tchambers
Nope just something I was noticing yesterday

@kruste
This thread is unrelated. I only misread her/his OP.
@ZacharyHerold
The cloned users are a smaller set and likely unrelated. I noticed today many users cloned from actual fediverse users, including myself, already complete with followers and everything. Then I started getting follows from people I already followed, but from GAB. Did some checking and like me most of those people didnt open the accounts either. Thats all I know, but I dont think the clones are the bulk of the million.
Love this Gal's solar weather reports each week. Since I do a lot of Radio propagation stuff I really need to remain up to date.
@igeljaeger Ahh ok. Makes sense. Some nutcase is actually cloning accounts of the most popular people int he fediverse on there.
@ZacharyHerold No clue, pointless trolling maybw? Or perhaps used as a way to make the server look more populated than it really is. Or perhaps to make people think their favorite users moved to gab and thus so should they? I could only speculate as to why.
@igeljaeger Wasn't sure, people have been getting cloned onto GAB lately without their permission. Based on your post though it may have been you :) But i think I read your post wrong then?
@igeljaeger Wait you are saying your the person responsible for all the new GAB user clones? I presume you started the account that was a clone of me too then?
@ZacharyHerold agreed
@ZacharyHerold Only the existence of the accounts themselves.
@11112011 lol
@ZacharyHerold Yup its true :(
