So it seems like people have started noticing Hexbear/Lemmy's "backend" (corpo term) doesn't actually enforce that you have pronouns and that you don't change your username (hexbear.net)

There are a few users on the site without pronouns now (other than "none/use name", I mean like there is no pronoun field at all)

Was considering writing a no-fun-allowed patch for this unless this is intended behavior now? I would have submitted a diff but I can't build lemmy on my system to test any changes :(

It seems like the patch would be pretty easy, there is already pronoun validation code it just needs to be applied when people try to update their username

This seems like a deviation from the path laid out for us by comrade TC69

I saw GayBot comment that there was another vegan struggle session and got excited to post in the trenches im-vegan but I think that was a ruse cause I didnt see any threads about it anywhere. devastating

There is/was a thread in vegan about how to handle leftists that aren’t. Non vegan hexbears got banned because the comm has a vegans only rule. Some got mad.
