I think so, it's a good idea. But it's hard to enforce across an entire instance sadly, unless we get @rimu@piefed.social to implement some mandatory pronouns field that displays in your display name.

I support this too. I know some clients only show the username and not the display name, but wygd?

While I don't have an account on there yet. I was thinking about making an alt here but misogyny on the fediverse is everywhere - someone admitting they are a woman on here often just means them getting hostile replies. People may also not be entirely clear on their own pronouns.

You can always go with something like [none/use name], [any] and so on. Hexbear does this really well IMO

Second, though important to note many mobile clients don't support them properly.

Ive actually been meaning to finish testing on iOS to go alongside the android list to say which do / don't support it.
