I just read your Twitter thread about HN linked here.
I hope that you'll notice how people here are just discussing the topic of your post and interested.
That people ranting about Twitter posts and pronouns are a vocal minority.
That many people actually appreciate your work and that ending up on the HN front page is a sign of this.
I understand and respect that you don't want to have to deal with this vocal minority who is not nice with you, but I wish they hadn't this much power. They don't only bother you but also a majority of us.
Most people silently read you, most are willing to honor your pronouns, too many of us need frequent reminders not to assume he/him, most people who don't like reading Twitter will not complain and just not read and that's fine.
Maybe HN guidelines could use some update to ask people to stop bitching on one's choice of pronouns and use of twitter to post things like you do. Plenty of tools exist to read them comfortably anyway.
In any case, a lot of love and of course you are free to not want to deal with HN as long as it is not an adequately welcoming place.
