That's good, I'm glad to hear that.
Yeah, agreed.
Well it wasn't funny, it came off as off topic at best and borderline queerphobic at worst, and queerphobia doesn't fly here or on blahaj.zone at all really. My joke may have been bad or dumb to some people but it almost certainly didn't come off as queerphobic.
Happy I could be of help.

Also it's better to link it like !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone since it works for people on remote instances.
Lemmy.blahaj.zone has downvotes disabled but they're still allowed for some reason in the remote versions of communities hosted on it, and on accounts non native to blahaj they still do federate to other instances. Maybe it would be worth suggesting a change to this to disallow downvotes in remote copies of communties hosted by instances which disable them.
Maybe they thought we were being "woke" or "sensitive" about pronouns?
Probably very likely the last one, I do know that downvoting people for being openly queer is unfortunately common. It was a big problem on Reddit. I once saw a person in r/SwitchPirates being downvoted because she was a trans girl who was openly trans.
Also I feel like the second one is the same as the last one since there really isn't an Agender, NonBinary, Gay, or Trans agenda, that's just queerphobes who want to make out Queer people to be some kind of bad guys to fight against, rather than people who just want to exist and be recognized.
Exactly couldn't agree more, and yeah cloths are just cloth, it's really weird that we assign gender to them at all.
Agreed, they are very nice.
It's a thing that sometimes happens for some people where they get sensations that are uncomfortable when keeping their legs still, I never experienced it myself but I've read about it.
Yeah, I mean it makes sense since they give good air flow to keep you cool than shorts would, actually it's weird that more men in more modern cultures don't wear skirts and skirt-like garments.
