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

You ever think about how on a website the server is the back end, but at a restaurant the server is the front end?

No? Yeah me neither.

I guess it depends? You could think of the UI as the menu, then the server is your interface to the resources, and it's responsible for maintaining the integrity property that you only receive resources when authorized?
