    The gentleman in question would like to make it public knowledge that he has lately become exceedingly thankful for the pleasant and convivial conversation, chit-chat and general hob-nobbing afforded by the presence of those other parties attending this perpetual soirée we have come to call ‘lemmy’.

              I got banned from a great, progressive sci-fi and fantasy writing community for several dumb reasons similar to each other, one of them being I said Wikipedia and the entire internet said “guys” and “dude” are gender-neutral. (And yes, it was a great community. Nothing’s perfect though.) Also for suggesting that maybe one day we’ll be progressive enough to have a dedicated non-binary pronoun instead of “they”— at the least so my novel-writing is less confusing when multiple parties are addressed. The admins claimed I was talking in “anti-trans rhetoric”. Hilariously, I have trans and non-binary protagonists in my novel, and everyone there knew it. My best friend also moved from another state to become my housemate, and she is MtF trans.

          I’m picturing an East LA cholo but in a full business suit delivering a PowerPoint presentation to a board of other cholos.

              Idk exactly how data propagates from instance to instance, but it’s highly likely that edits don’t make their way from instance to instance immediately, and fairly likely that your change only exists on your instance.
