Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?
-
-
I don't care about mine or anybody elses avatar, also profiles with avatar usually are: selling something (OF) or company profiles or bot accounts, so any account with an avatar is kinda sus to me.
brb gonna post space pics to onlyfans now

In comment sections or in community pages, it's mostly an ocean of default avatars.
As a UI developer, that's always been a gripe because I put a lot of effort into making them look good and scale properly, etc. When I see 60-70% or more accounts sporting the default avatar, it makes me wonder why I even bother.
So, since this bugs me so much, figured I'd just ask.
Lemm.ee users I can understand because of the waiting period for uploads, but AFAIK, most instances don't have that restriction. Even then, there are plenty of
.eeaccounts that never bother to go back and set one.wrote on last edited by [email protected]::: spoiler spoiler

Lol, nice! It hasn't federated here yet, but I clicked onto your home instance and it shows up.

I think I read a few months ago in their repo that it's being worked on, but does not seem so.

I don't know why others don't but I'll say why I do, which is that I noticed people were remembering my username whether I had an image or not, so why not have an image? And it was early days, still is, so I figured... may as well be the first static.
Maybe it's just that Sync is an outdated mess, but I can't even see your profile pic. I can see others, just not yours.
-
I'm still on Sync for now and same. But I don't think I saw them even on desktop...?
I'm on Sync as well, and I can see some avatars but not others

Why do you bother with an avatar for your Lemmy account?
Because it reminds me of forums to have one. No other reason

Even though I tend to comment somewhat frequently, I prefer to be just "another voice in the crowd" I don't really want to be more easily recognized lol
That's fair.
I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I'm literally going for visibility with a name like this...
But 9/10 times it's a generic name with a default or no picture.

Why can’t you just tell the truth for once? You don’t always have to be lion.
