would be amazing to have this pronouns lexicon in Witchsky! but I wonder how it would translate to editing the Bluesky prns field as a fallback...
Made my first open spec. An ATProto lexicon for pronouns. Stored on your PDS as a real record, not reliant on labelers which can disappear for a variety of reasons.
Multiple sets, neopronouns, and custom forms are all compatible. Any client can adopt it too!

New AT Protocol website coming! It looks fancy!
Highlights building apps, bots/agents, and feeds. Highlights developer features: json, strongly typed, hyperlinked, and more!
Has a live firehose! Then there's lots of documentation and tutorials.
