I will likely move my account from @rompe@mastodon.social to this one.
I tend to write in #German because that's what I know best, but I will happily chat in broken #English, too.
I also understand some words in #French, #Spanish and #Italian. Just comment in any language and we'll find a way to communicate.

This should allow multiple choices like "if they leave, the project dies, but I still trust them".

Everyone I've ever showed this to refused to use it because it's "too complicated". Yeah, people...

As someone who regularly adds or updates businesses to #OpenStreetMap I would like to sign this.

As soon as you invent categories for people, you're sure to hurt some of them. I think the trans label was created with good intent, but yeah, I can see how it makes you feel.
I'd totally sign a petition to ged rid of any gender-describing category in the whole world. Imagine humanity consisting of just people without any pronouns. Everybody is just somebody, no matter the cover, no matter the content. I mean, differentiating between women and men even brought us to the point where you have to create said wiki page to point out the problem with that.
Yes, I know I'm being unrealistic. But I'm not sure if you can fix the categories by joining some and adding others. I'm just part dreaming of a better world and part angry that there has been so much inequality that the street names are just the tip of the iceberg.

I've thought about this a lot, and maybe the real reason I'm against differentiating people at all is that I'm part of the most boring and most hostile group and I'm completely fed up with this fact.
Anyway, I'm happy you're part of a fun group, and I'm slightly jealous. 😀

Yeah, I saw that coming, but I don't think I should try to be something else just for the benefits. 😀

I could sometimes use this magnifier for standard emojis. I can read small text, but I'm often emoji-blind. That's why I refuse to use most of them. 😀
