On the internet whoever you're conversing with is male unless explicitly stated

"OH mY gOd, aRE yoU a GiRL???" In a game lobby.

Same vibes.

Just reiterating, that the original poster was German as I suspected, and pointing it out might spare them being misunderstood in the future. I have no regrets.

Yeah I guess I reordered it "Just let the user decide themselves..." in my head.

As I guessed the commenter was a German speaker. This is a very common occurrence and not something malicious (check like every boardgame from Germany referring to "the player" as "he"), just lost in translation.

Never meant to be annoying or holier-than-thou, people can genuinely misunderstand that it's some sexist remark, and so I pointed it out. Just said it so the commenter hopefully isn't misunderstood in the future.

So, if you feel that's some woke-ass snowflake nonsense, be my guest lol

Yeah that's what I guessed! Alles gut :)

Can you blanket block comments from other instances users?

I am not a fan of Beehaw's decision, but I can't a setting where you can actually do this.
