    In social media, DNI specifically means Do not interact. The two types of folks I don’t want interacting with me in regards to “saying the things wrong” would be Xeno[glossophobics] & grammarians. E.i., I am fine foreign words&phrases & misspells. People that prohibit others from doing so, simply don’t have to interact with me whatsoever. It saves us both trouble.

          Just to be clear, your expectation is that people will click on your username and read your bio before responding to you? How would they know to do that?

            In modern social media, not lemmy, everything in my bio is displayed on my name field. The timestamp being the last thing in the field. Other frontends allow to see the bio just by hovering your select icon over to a name.
            Ideally we would be in OCapN, so I could ignore my DNIs at network level, but that’s not where the yard sold are.

            How would they know to do that?

            That’s something lemmy users need to ask, not I. Unsure how Dessalines & Nutomic are going to educatevanguard their proles to have basic netiquette.

            I would assume folks would just use gender-neutral pronouns by default, seeing as they don’t know their gender anyway. Having them in the bio just makes them available for those who care to check.

          It only works on Mastodon and it’s derivatives, I think. E.g. on Misskey you’ll only see the bio text on hover, no custom fields, thus your profile just looks empty.

          Lemmy is also fundamentally different from these two and the likes, it’s a link aggregator, not a social network.

          It’s in general pretty weird to expect all ActivityPub implementations to support all the same features. You can never be sure with protocols like these. HTML tags in email messages may be rendered on 95% of the clients, but you are still supposed to include plain text alternatives for all the content because there are clients that don’t render HTML.

            Then what are communities supposed to be, link groups?

            “Weird” here meaning “not within the norm of expectations” or something else? Because if it’s the former, w3 disagrees with your expectations; including HTML.
