Hey OP, great idea putting your pronouns in your name. I would've copied it if Jerboa let me.

OP's home instance is hexbear, which asks users pronouns on signup and automatically adds them to your display name. Admins added it to stop accidental misgendering that comes with a lot of online people defaulting to he/him and to prevent singling out trans users with pronoun tags since it's required for everyone

Thanks for explaining! The primary reason I wrote this comment because the only other sounded kinda mean.

there's like a 25 character limit (i think. it's 20 by default but it's changeable per instance by the admins) so if your name is short enough you can put it there.

It's actually a feature hexbear has, in OP's case (and mine)

That was it, Jerboa didn't show the error. Liftoff did though, which is nice.
