Well what was happening is we were arguing about anarchist praxis, and they were calling Me a fake anarchist. And I was pretty upset by that, and since I thought they could see My pronouns and weren't using them, I was feeling pretty hurt and also a lot of righteous indignation. So I made a point about if they're the one true anarchist why are they misgendering Me? And right as I said that, their instance fetched My pronoun data. So they thought I just changed them right then. Truth is, if I had just changed them right then, it would have been up to 24 hours before it showed up on their screen. So we were both mistaken about how fast the updates come through and both got mad at each other about it.
PS: I love the þorns, please consider trying My instance. I made it for weirdos who take control over the way they construct our social-perceptual world, and I think bringing back þorns is that kind of vibe.
