We were wondering if the docs etc here could be rewritten in such a way so as to not call all of us human since some of us are not.

Much like being transgender, being otherkin, alter{human/being} or transspecies can have a lot of dysphoria attached to it and we have had to at least explicitly tell one person on lemmy that we are not human even though it is in our profile.

We think that being more inclusive is always a good thing and will gladly work with those who can edit the docs etc in order to find more inclusive ways to say what needs to be said without misspeciesing any{one/many}.

Thanks for reading this and we hope this finds y’all well.

    being emotional is a normal part of being a human

    Humans are pretty good at figuring out when someone is being a jerk online

    One solution to this problem is to recenter humans in our online social platforms.

    explain to someone why you’re a human and why you shouldn’t be subject to incessant bigotry online.

    However, get enough humans together

    you’re probably at least aware of this from simply living with other humans.

    and other such disconnects are commonly discussed when cohabitating with another human.

    I treat other Beeple with good faith, even when I think they are not responding to me in kind, unless they are unequivocally advocating for hate or intolerance of fellow humans.

    In the context of human emotion, however, we see plenty of reasons to not have downvotes.

    if people want to disagree they will need to think about how they want to approach another human being and frame this disagreement.

    Mental health is often an emotionally charged subject and even though we’re all human and want to hold space to allow this kind of healing

    certain kinds of communities focused on taking pictures of humans

    Bots that always post without human intervention are noisy and are often unwanted.

    Some are also simply fairly regular humans

    rife for abuse in a plethora of ways that humans

    We understand that we’re all human and aren’t going to be perfect at all times

    There’s been a lot of content which I so rarely see on other places on the internet that feels so much more welcoming and human than many other spaces on the internet.

    You’re all wonderful human beings.
