they/it/any

It depends on the person, but usually a good trend to follow if you're unsure is to main the pronoun that comes first. Nowadays when people put several pronouns they tend to also prefer if you switched it up with one of the other pronouns once in a while. Doesn't have to be all pronouns in one sentence but just switching up which one you're maining right now.

For example, I use they/it/any. You can't go wrong with they, but I would like if people used it and any other pronouns too. My friend uses they/she but prefers they so I call them they but pop in an occasional she.

And I understand the defaulting to they/them, but be aware that if it's a trans person that has struggled to get their identity respected, not using the he or she that they prefer will make them uncomfortable and come across as misgendering. "Allies" that don't respect your identity tend to use the they/them trick to avoid actively misgendering, but not actually call them by their real pronouns either.

Edit since I saw your other reply, if people say they don't care they usually really don't, or if they do care they're being unfair. You could ask if they really don't have any preference at all, but otherwise they/them tends to be a safe bet, maybe some switching it up.

I just joined today and will always stay a lurker but I've mainly noticed a difference in the type of comment I feel prompted to make. On Reddit I mostly gave advice to other people, because you or any opinions were never going to get noticed anywhere else anyway (unless you were lucky, I guess), the community here right now is a lot more casual and so are my replies.

Never heard of Cassette Beasts! That looks really cool, I'll check it out.

If you're not planning on upgrading, or don't need a superpowered video card for work, you could definitely save on the money. I am using a RTX 2060 Super (your choice is comparable to the 3000 line from Nvidia) and playing all games I want to play in high quality at 1080p 60hz and good fps.

Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.

Element is the best one I've found, at least for DMs. I don't use servers and as such the way they work on Element still deeply confuses me, but if you work your way into it like with Lemmy it probably works.

They're so fluffy! I love them!

Calamity is a classic and an awesome experience. I definitely recommend trying that one out. I haven't played in a while but I don't think I could return to vanilla.

Thorium and Spirit also work well together, but I haven't played around much with those.
