Xi rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. xi/drag person-independent pronouns. That means xi’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

Neither. Xi referred to dragself in the first person. Xi has first person neopronouns, xi/drag. Xi’s pronouns are person-independent, so they apply the same way in first, second, and third person.

Most people have first person, second person, and third person object, subject, and possessive pronouns. That’s 9 pronouns! Xi only has 2 pronouns, so xi’s pronouns are much simpler and easier to remember.

That’s 9 pronouns. Xi only has 2 pronouns, so xi’s pronouns are very simple and very easy to remember.

Thank you, xi likes that solution. Unfortunately it seems Lemmy does not.

It’s thank drag, since xi is the object of your sentence. You’re doing something to drag, which is thanking. If you’d say he or she, xi’s pronoun is xi. If you’d say him or her, it’s drag. Thank you for being curious.

Xi messed up counting the characters. Looks like Lemmy’s character limit is 20, not 22. Display names are good for special characters. Lemmy doesn’t allow special characters in usernames because it messes up the URLs. Xi wanted to be Dragon “Rider”, but Lemmy doesn’t allow quotes in usernames. Luckily, quotes are allowed in displaynames, so xi took dragonfucker for a username and Dragon “Rider” for a display name.
