    Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because “she’s very obviously a woman” is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.

    I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.

      There’s still the username. And the proper response to that situation is, “Oh, oops, I didn’t realize, let me edit my comment, thanks for bringing it to my attention.”

      If I can figure out a way to view who downvoted, I will be tagging them to call them out and name and shame. I find it completely inexcusable. If they didn’t know they were in the wrong, they wouldn’t be afraid to show their faces and explain themselves.

        I downvoted you. It’s because you don’t know how to discuss topics like an adult without arrogantly insulting people.

        News flash: Despite what you seem to think- no one here is beneath you. You’re just a random person on the internet- just like everyone else.

        I really want to down vote you because of your aggressiveness and off topic ranting but I’ll ask instead what about their username should tell me the user’s gender?

              Why the fuck are y’all using these shitty apps that don’t display either profile pics or usernames properly? Literally worse functionality than just using a browser.

              Don’t get mad at me for your choice to use a shitty product that takes away basic functionality and causes you to be ignorant about people’s identities.

              “Um, actually, you’re being unfair to people using text-only browsers.”

                My god, I’m beginning to think you’re a parody account. No one can be this arrogant and smug about something so petty and unimportant as what app one uses.

                No one is mad at you for the app they use. People are upset with your shitty behavior. No one that downvoted you did so because of transphobia or whatever bullshit reason you want to come up with. It’s because you’re a miserable keyboard warrior and likely troll.

                  People like this do not handle being disagreed with very well, do they?

                  Simply cannot accept their imaginary version of events isn’t what actually happened.

                  “My shitty behavior,” that is, calling out misgendering and transphobia. But it’s definitely not transphobia that’s motivating downvoters. Oh, and you know this how? None of them have come out to say their reasons, because they’re transphobic cowards who don’t want to get called out for it.

                  You’d better fucking believe I’m going to “aggressively” support trans people against you fucks.

                    Youre shitty behavior is doubling down on calling out the so called transphobia when it has been explained to you several times that many users don’t see the same label you are seeing. You admitted that yourself. I’m telling you right now as a person who downvoted you why I did so. It’s time to move along now troll.

                    You need to stop screaming transphobe at everyone who disagrees with you, it’s a serious accusation, and it’s been explained to you that not everyone sees profile pictures.

                My app, and clearly a lot of mobile apps, show the @, which is like the legal name, so [email protected], it does not show the account display name, which is Katy, until I click on the profile. This is most likely due to screen size and for readability. Same with the profile picture, do not see it until I click on the profile.

                  Which brings me back to the question I’ve been trying to get an answer to as to why someone would go out of their way to install an app that reduces the websites functionality.

                  In any case, the proper response should be, “oops, it was a mistake, thanks for letting me know” and not fighting me on it or downvoting.

                    To accomodate different instances and different infrastructure I would assume. My app lets me turn the display name and the profile picture on and off, but again the size of the photo and the dual display name and @ takes up a lot of screen space and it’s easier to have them off.

                    As I explained before, I don’t give a shit about your profile picture or display name, it does nothing but take up valuable screen space. I want to see your username and comment, that’s what I came here for.

                  No, her display name is “katy✨”

                  If you weren’t using an app that removes basic functionality, this is what you’d see:
