feat: pronouns lexicon #66

closed opened by youronly.one

Description from the project's git:

Bluesky added a pronouns field to the profile record โ€” a single freeform string capped at 20 graphemes. Fine for "she/her", useless for multiple sets, neopronouns, or anything more complex.

A popular pronoun labeler got deleted and everyone's pronouns vanished with it. Labelers are someone else's server. When they go, your data goes.

This is a sidecar record on the user's PDS. Multiple ordered sets, open-ended forms per set, author-controlled display. What you type is what gets stored. Clients that don't understand the lexicon just ignore it.

Don't intend to add this, as it would likely require an extra query for every new user the client comes upon. Might implement more profile features, but not stuff that would load whenever you just interact with posts, feeds, or lists.

An integration with something like an atproto-based pronouns.cc alternative could work for profiles! But I feel that loading records in place of a profile field that already exists isn't sensible.
