Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns?

How should people refer to you in the third person? It's okay to use one's name as the preferred pronoun.

A name is a noun, not a pronoun, but the site seems to allow "none/use name" as an option.

There are societies where not using one's name is rude. In general it's safe to just call one by name instead of dehumanize them with labels.
