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

What do you think?

      Hexbear had a problem with some stupidpol types in its earlier days. It’s one of the reasons downvotes were removed and among other things TC69 led the purges and some of the education that set site culture in a more positive direction.

          It was not overt, it was backhanded stuff with downvoting and concern trolling about the addition pronouns and whether people should be forced to assign them. This went on for some time until TC69-thought established a total purge after peering into voting habits and discovering certain people were consistently downvoting the trans topics and acting in bad faith. There were wreckers among us.
