Actor is gender neutral. Actress is feminine. Actsman is masculine. This is the new language, learn it and use it.

I've never heard Actsman before but I'll look into it with a view to using it when appropriate, as it would have been in my previous post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I don't know whether or not the creator of the graphic is using actor as a gender neutral term.

Edit: googling "actsman" "actor" gives me nothing. Either it's very new or I've just whooshed.

It's like how huntsman is the masculine term for hunter.

Would miners be minemen or minermen?

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

There's no such thing as a miness, but if there were, the male equivalent would be minesman

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
