fernsy, formerly known as yagton or Chatrumor, is an American OWOT user. Since 15 May 2024, she has been one of the Discord server's admins. On 1 July 2024, she came out as a transgender woman.
Name
fernsy is a diminutive of Fern, her post-transition middle name and nickname. This name was chosen as a tribute to a close transfem friend whose middle name is Leaf.
A past name of hers, yagton, is still in collective memory, though not preferred. It is a blend of her former middle name Ashton and the acronym YAGNI ("you aren't gonna need it").[b]
History
fernsy was born in Oklahoma, in the United States, c. 2005. She first began programming at the age of 11, c. 2016.
fernsy was a user of Edit the Text (ETT), a site operated by the Huang twins. On the site, she made a bot to save a page regularly, reverting any edits made by a certain IP address, though fernsy's adversary eventually created a bot to spam writes to the page, defeating her. fernsy prevailed in the arms race against this adversary by reprogramming the bot to post a frequently-changing link to a random page, until 2018, when ETT shut down.
ETT had no ratelimits or size limits, leading to the strategy of "nuking", where users would simply upload a large amount of text to a page to prevent it from being loaded by users' browsers.
In March 2018, fernsy created her Discord account.
fernsy first joined OWOT in April 2018, later joining the OWOT Discord server in August 2021.
Personal life
fernsy worked at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, where she once lived.
Sometime in October 2024, motivated by Oklahoma's anti-LGBT laws, she moved to Chicago.
Gender transition
fernsy had been aware of her transgender status since around 2018, but was not in a position to act on it, as her parents were unsupportive and she lived in Oklahoma, a state with several anti-LGBT laws.
AndreiXYZ, a close friend of fernsy, was one of the first to know.
On 1 July 2024, she announced that she was transgender.
