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!

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

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.
