      No, it wasn’t. You might say that the issue was sidestepped, because it says “it”, rather than “they”, now.

      I guess it was an overreaction by mastodon, though. Even if I understand the initial criticism.

            A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

            They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

                  It doesn’t really address the core of the issue. Also: you said something wrong and ri corrected you, while acknowledging that the text was gender neutral now. What’s the big deal?
