Yeah this is what I'm confused about, why would you send your potential catfish victims to the same place where they can talk to each other and then ignore them?

This makes the most sense, but I still find it odd that they would send victims to the same discord server, or friendica.

 

Like, it can't be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I'm curious how they're scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won't fall for being catfished, so I don't understand what their strategy is.

Personally, I like they/them better. It's already been used for persons of unknown gender for a long time, and using it as explicitly non gendered is really seamless.

Wheras neopronouns can feel very attention calling and othering. Then there's the issue that most of them sound gendered anyway, ('zhir' sounds a lot more like 'her' than 'him')

I do agree about the need for more nb representation, though.
