Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

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?

This is the Hexbear comm, where we talk about Hexbear. Hexbear has long required users to provide pronouns or use the default ("none/use name"). We've been over your stupid, boring arguments multiple years ago, and your side fucking lost back then. This is not up for debate even among actual Hexbear users, let alone obnoxious lemmitor shitheads from other instances, like yourself. We're not requiring users of other instances to provide pronouns anyway, just Hexbear users, so I don't have any idea why you even fucking care.

I guess what I'm saying is, fuck off.

sorry just giving you my point of the view in the situation.

Friend, you really should have just read the room. Nobody was asking for your opinion about this longstanding aspect of the site (not only a policy but an actual coded feature). You seem mostly cool based on your other posts, so just let this go, okay? You're not gonna be changing any minds here.
