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?
It’s doesn’t seem so difficult to me, we just have to check if local users have valid pronouns (valid in the sense of it’s in a list that can be checked by a computer lol, not ideal but yeah) in their requested display name when they try to use the
save_user_settingsapi. According to makotech222 elsewhere in the thread we actually used to have validation like this but the code got lost in an update
