    There’s many different types of neurodivergent with many different needs, and it hurts to be dismissed about that. I’m trans too and I never tried to convince you that your experience has got to be the same as mine. Going into profiles destroys the anonymous safe space for me. I just want to engage with posts and comments, not profiles. This is overwhelmingly the culture on here, and that’s the reason why it’s the only social media in comfortable using. There’s plenty of social media that isn’t like that.

      We sorry you’re hurt. But we’re also hurt by the idea that we can’t get basic respect. So is our only solution to really write out our pronouns etc every single time? If so, so be it. Though that seems untenable for many here.

      We also don’t agree that that’s the culture here. However, if it is then again, why should profiles even exist as an option? Maybe somebody should just open an issue to have them removed and we’ll just have to tell people everything that would have been in them every time as seems to be the case anyway.

      Edit: We feel comfortable using this social media because we can be who we really are, even if that’s semi-anonymous you seem to be trying to push us to go to another where we’re fully de-anonymised (which we don’t want). But there is nothing we wish to use apart from this and other things on fedi: kbin, mbin, piefed and whenever it gets released sublinks will seemingly all have the same ‘culture’ but there’s nothing else we want to use apart from fedi things. So what would you have us do?

        Thank you. I’m also sorry you’re hurt. Guess what I’m saying is, this is the ONE space I’m comfortable, BECAUSE profiles don’t matter. Theres profiles so there’s accountability and the option for bans so this doesn’t become 4chan. Do you have a suggestion where I could go that’s safe for me if this isn’t it? I don’t know of anything else.

          We didn’t mean accounts, we meant getting rid of the option for any information to be in ‘profiles’ if others aren’t interested in, or are unable to read them for a plethora of reasons.

          No, we don’t. We wish you happy travels and enjoying your stay wherever you should end up, even if it’s here. Despite everything our desire wasn’t for you to leave, only to figure out a solution.
