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

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 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

What do you think?
