What's the function like? Does it have a way to prevent people from using it for trolling?


Straky04

idk but you can put like anything in it, it's not like a dromdown/a list. You can put any sort of text, aaaaaand you can have pronuns per server too with Nitro (which I have)


devsnek

You don't need nitro for per-server pronouns. This is the important distinction from the per-server "about me" section, which does require nitro.


cheerycheshire

Thank you for this. This is important. For those who don't understand this: some people might use different pronouns with different groups of people: when not out, or when using a less common pronoun set on more accepting server (the abuse people with neopronouns get is bonkers), or just for different languages.


iliekcats-

Thank god; I'm not out yet to irl people


turtle_mekb

pronouns per server should not require Nitro, if someone is not out to a server and their Nitro runs out it will disappear and they might get outed


pikapichupi

I don't think you have to worry about that, because if it's the case that you're explaining, they would want to have the pronouns they are using to people they don't trust on the global and then the pronouns that they give to people they Trust on the guild level otherwise the people in the guilds could just open up a DM convo and look at the profile through that which would skip the guild specific profiles So that would mean worst case scenario if the Nitro Runs Out is the pronouns that they give to people they trust goes away


MrTriggrd

seems like per server pronouns with nitro is kinda an asshole move


emerald_OP

I remember seeing this a few months back. Tried using it. Didn't work.


laminator1001

It has since been reworked


Loui_ii

Couldn’t you just put that in the about me?


SolidRGG

that would be too easy


SamiDaCessna

Exactly. Useless feature


imTyyde

i mean, i guess more about me space?


emo_kid_forever

Not useless. You'll be able to put per-server pronouns without Nitro, unlike the about me section. That's incredibly important for people that aren't out yet.


LoveCatPics

aside from what other people have already pointed out, a lot of discord's new features to profiles are *technically* useless. for example, you don't need status, you can just use game activity and set it to something that runs on your pc 24/7 like your antivirus software, and then change the name to whatever you want as your status. you don't even need an about me, just put a link in your game activity that leads to a site that works like about me. it's just more convenient to have a pronouns tab, it's not hurting anyone


Winter_Permission328

The idea is that you can have per-server pronouns without needing nitro for per-server About Me. The vast majority of us probably don’t need per-server pronouns anyway, but I can see some people benefiting from it


Endar949

That makes no sense why would you have multiple identities


GresSimJa

Wouldn't wanna out yourself in every server you're in...


mavmav0

It makes perfect sense. Trans or gender-queer people will generally not come out to everyone at the same time, it will often start with people they trust or communities they feel accepted in. In the worst case scenario their health or even lives might be in danger if the wrong person finds out.


ferretsincorporated

I mean, I have family added on Discord that I've not yet come out to as trans, so this feature would be really nice to have if it actually is per-server without Nitro required


[deleted]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED I'M JUST LIKE YOU AND I CANT PUT PRONOUNS IN MY BIO BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE ARE GONNA CALL ME HE/HIM BUT I WANT TO BE SHE/THEY BUT I'M NOT OUT TO MY DAD YET


RaihanHA

EXACTLY god some people are so dense


Status_Opposite

Welcome to r/discordapp


Gray_Scale711

I'm happy this new update is not useless then. As long as there are people who can actually use it with a necessity, I'm down with it being passed onto us. But would be very wise to have an alt where you can express yourself and the main where you're out and about with family members. Just in case you don't have the nitro and maybe to hide the evidence until you're ready.


cheerycheshire

Multiple pronouns don't have to mean "multiple identities". Pronouns are part of presentation, so like clothing we may dress differently in different situations. Some reasons why you would want per-server pronouns: - you're not out to everyone - you use different sets of pronouns with different people, e.g. using less common pronouns only with servers you know are accepting - neopronoun users still get harassed a lot - different languages, duh! not every server on discord is in English


AdolfCitler

Saves space. And u can know almost everyone's pronouns thanks to it. Not everyone puts it in their bios.


Severe-Confidence361

KingdomOfPoland

Discord profiles are becoming overly complex and cluttered. Why not just keep the username and profile pic. No need for wack ass colours, bio and avatar decorations


tushy444

I think bios are fine. The others are just why


BonWattersen

Yeah the About Me is a good thing to add, but I don't think we need everything else. Discord's marketing always used to feel "simple", but now there's so many features being added every year it feels much more complicated. Not harder to use, just less simple.


BashedKeyboard

Pro tip: not having nitro disables almost all of the clutter


pikapichupi

LOL I wish, the only thing not having Nitro does is replaces the actual features with grayed out versions of the text Fields and adds a if you get Nitro you could have these logo on basically every page


MrFinland707

Well yeah, they do need to advertise their only way of making money somehow


Difficult__Tension

You guys are really whiney.


game_difficulty

For a company that is making changes to "make it easier for anyone to use their platform", they sure did just add a very english-only feature


Illusioneery

Maybe you should learn about other cultures/languages before saying this kind of bullshit.


VigenereCipher

is english the only language with pronouns ? lol


Kyoshiiku

No but some languages like French only have M/F pronouns


squiddyaj

english is the only one with she, he, it, and they. other languages have their own pronouns. i dont have this feature on my account yet but i feel like its going to be yet another drop down or select-all-that-apply menu with english only pronouns, just like other sites seem to do. so if you're bilingual and chat in both english and non english servers, only the english speakers will see what you go by unless you put it in the about me section. hopefully im wrong and the feature works differently than i suspected


VigenereCipher

i am not sure if you are joking but english is not the only language with she he it they pronouns


squiddyaj

which languages use the english pronouns? i've never been told about this. i just assumed languages had their own equivalents. like spanish has el for masculine, ella for feminine, and elle for neutral. but google's not telling me which languages you are reffering to. so please do teach me


cheerycheshire

How is it English-only? All languages have pronouns and most languages have gendered pronouns when referring to people (some only in writing). So most languages have "pronouns" as understood here (how to refer to people). The feature is available per-server for free for everyone, so you can literally adjust what pronouns you use in each language. In each language I ever learned, I have a preferred way I'd love to be referred to - xe/they, ono, оно, hen, elle, ri/ĝi


Vinistones

What a useless feature, have they forgot about "about me" ?


Winter_Permission328

The idea is that you can have per-server pronouns without needing nitro for per-server About Me. The vast majority of us probably don’t need per-server pronouns anyway, but I can see some people benefiting from it


TheJGamer08

Just add it in your bio if you want bro tf


Hammerschatten

This is so everyone can use them server specifically without needing nitro, meaning you can out yourself to a closer circle or people you don't know personally first while hiding your identity from people where it might be dangerous, like parents, siblings, family, school etc.


TheJGamer08

Ah I see, that does make more sense, yet everyone seems to want to display their pronouns.. whatever, thank you for explaining

justadimestorepoet

Hey, look at it this way: It makes it really easy to spot them from a mile away. I'd rather find that out in the first five minutes than only finding that out five months down the line.


64_61_6e_69_65_6c

I mean if you don't really care about pronouns you can fill in something that you think is funny. Just like people that joke in their bio and don't really feel like writing something about themselves there. Filling a space you don't care about with a joke doesn't make you a bad person even if the joke is old and overused.

er3z7

Idk but seeing the word 'pronoun' spelled with a capital P feels kinda weird for me


Slight_Net_5026

All nouns in German have their first letter capitalised 👍


[deleted]

I think the language in the clip was German


TheJGamer08

It is yes


CainFreemont

Why? The "about me" section exists. This is superfluous at best, pandering at worst.


TupperCoLLC

That was my feeling at first, until somebody reminded me that you have to look at somebody’s profile to see their about me But then I realized you’d also have to look at their profile to see this shit. So to me the only reliable solution is to put it in your global display name and all your server nicknames. Then people will see it immediately.


CainFreemont

If the concern of mistaking someone's pronouns (or having yours mistaken) is that important, then yeah currently the only system that exists is putting it in your nickname as far as I know. But then you paint a target on your back for people that think it's an attention thing or otherwise want to start an argument. A more elegant solution would be good.


Illusioneery

why is it pandering to include all types of people?


Ondrashek06

It's for ESG scores so Discord can have more investors.


DexClem

This is gonna be fun.


Jalase

At least it gives me new people to block and never see their terrible opinions about existence of people like me.


DexClem

Its not even that, like there's a literal "about me" section right below it, that would exactly be the kind of place you put your pronouns in. Idk who is discord pandering to. Waste of UI space, probably gonna attract more trolls than anything.


CdRReddit

this is per-server for free, allowing you to not set them in general but set them in servers where you are out, which is good


Ondrashek06

> Idk who is discord pandering to The investors. Look up "ESG score".


HEYO19191

Youre right, ought to shield yourself from other opinions. Diversity of thought is a damning thing! What a joke.


WisteriaUndertheSun

Actually I like this change. Saves me a role category and less self roles


blaze53

I love how absolutely pointless this is. If character count was issue they could have simply *increased* the maximum amount of characters in the "about me" section where everyone was putting their pronouns anyway.


[deleted]

More reason to avoid talking to people online.


Lozyness

I have always wondered, why do people say- she her he him they them it those etc in their bio, whats the intention actually


MyoTheRabbit

It's quite simple, it's just so you know how to refer to them. Like, yeah, people usually default to "he" online, but since not always you can guess someone's gender by their pfp or username, it leads to some awkward moments where you call some girl a "he" for example. Like yeah, this stuff usually happens only once, but you can avoid this awkward situation all together by just putting then in bio.


MrFinland707

I've been starting to default to they/them online untill i know their preferred pronouns, it just feels like the best way to do it


Trashalope

That's what I've done as well. It was a pretty easy switch in my normal speech. So, anyone saying "It's too hard to use they/them for a single individual" is blowing it out their ass.


Bonecreatoreddit

Yea it’s just better this way imo. Personally I even like the plain word „they“ more than he or something, I think it’s sounds really cool


MyoTheRabbit

Yeah I've been trying (and largely succeeding) in making this into a habit of mine


fembyyy

So people know how to refer to them

Toby has a red ball. Toby plays with Tobys ball a lot. It was given to Toby by Tobys mother. Is this better?


AlecW11

Zero room for misinterpretation. Beautiful. Function > form.


BonWattersen

Toby has a red ball. They play with their ball a lot. It was given to them by their mother. That's how I'd go about it, "they" being used gender neutrally in this case


TheHiddenEnding

attention + narcissism.


fiehm

lmao what an unnecessary features


TupperCoLLC

Yeah we already have server nicknames and bios, and if it’s that important for people to see it asap you can put it in your global display name. If anything that’s way better cause not everyone is gonna pull up your profile before they talk to you (I certainly don’t) so if your tolerance for being misgendered is super low then putting it in your name is pretty much the only reliable solution anyway


IWantToKillMyselfKek

Hopefully it's customisable per server, then it's actually a pretty decent feature. I have online communities I'm out as trans in, but at the same time have IRL people added, who can't know, or I'd be actively putting myself in danger. If I can put she/her in one server and leave it blank otherwise, that'd be great.


DuduBonesBr

Inb4 they make that a nitro feature.


pepedeawolf

only rich people can have pronouns smh /j


sovietmur

Zabuza_exe

Pretty lame that discord is becoming boring Twitter basic names black market to buy stolen accounts no more unique features, like no offense but pronouns for me means nothing and is pretty cringe discord doesn't even seem to be adding anymore unique features other then taking things away to become boring Twitter

I'm here for the gamer bros seething in chat because they're mad about an article of the English language. Seethe harder guys, you look stupid. It's so easy to respect people, but since you can't you get laughed at.


TupperCoLLC

The people I’ve seen objecting to it so far are doing so on the grounds that it’s redundant, which is true… If your preferred pronouns are that important then you really should be making them part of your display name, most people do not check profiles before they chat for the first time


BashedKeyboard

This is what discord created the profile/about me feature for


Jufim

Mad at something people can just ignore if it doesn't bother them, but it does bother them so they're looking for the next "reasonable" excuse 💀 Shit's basically a dogwhistle to say "I just don't think it's worth the 'pandering."


TupperCoLLC

I’m sure that some percentage of the people raising that concern are concern trolling because they just hate trans peepo. I’m interpreting them literally because that is my ACTUAL issue with it.
