I still have yet to see any of these avatars you guys are talking about.

I liked the avatar. That's about it.
I prefer posters with avatars, personally.

When I first signed up for Lemmy I was just curious to check out how that feature worked (after I found it while browsing through the profile settings to see what was there).

️wrote on last edited by [email protected]Do you use Voyager? Or perhaps another client? Nothing about the user profile is surfaced in Voyager. You have to go to the native webview and open a user's profile to see all that. I set a brief bio there, but until it's exposed in my primary client I don't really see any reason to worry about all that.
I do sometimes check on nsfw boards so can flag users as OF creators vs. amateurs because I have more appreciation for folks doing that for fun than as a hustle. Other than that, it's too much hassle to go checking everyone's profile when maybe 10% of people set anything at all.

Baby Billy asks "Teenjus?"

I like this place, plus it’s a small enough platform that I thought seeing my comments with a “blank” avi probably gets annoying after a while ¯\(ツ)/¯

AI garbage drawings were pretty much brand new when I set up my account. So I figured, sure, a lemming astronaut would be fun. And I liked it so I kept it.
As a Reddit refugee (API debacle), I liked not having the same cheesy avatar as everyone else.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I paid for mine on r/hungryartists - I think it's a cool drawing & I am happy with it.
That was a very, very long time ago of course.

I use the same avatar in every network I'm in. Is kinda my internet persona, although is not "me", its has his own name and everything, Dusk.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It makes my username make more sense. Plus, you made this one for me, so there's that. Plus plus, I'm not here to be "anonymous".
I also prefer dealing with people who have images. I dunno, it's just like putting a "face" to the words.

ImageAI had a fun post where you input your username as a prompt and see what comes of it. Tadaa, perfect profile picture
