Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?
-
But... you have one.
Debatable lol

It does explain why nobody has called out my avatar being AI generated when I talk shit about how shitty AI is (I generated it back when this shit was new and didn't know how crap it actually was yet).
My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.
I'm used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn't happened on Lemmy ever lol.

I don't remember what I used for mine, but I remember the prompt was just "a husky dog anthro but the fur that is normally black is green" it gave me 50 different things and this one was the only decent looking image in the whole batch.

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.I'm ugly and I don't like cartoon pfp

They only show in your profile and I don't look at my profile. The only people that do look at your profile are the people going there to try and find something to use against you.

Reddit and it's siblings like Lemmy have historically been less person-focused than other websites, and many of us like to keep it that way. While it can be neat to recognise people, I only need their user handle to do so and I only check if necessary. It's nice to take a comment at it's value without regard for who said it. Reddit's push towards personifying their users is part of why I left.

I don't see avatars in my app and I don't really care to. Never had them in early reddit and that's what I'm trying to replicate.
I wanted to say the same, but then I saw the avatar next to your name and realized that I do in fact see avatars. I just never noticed and still don't care.

Relatable.
Comedy gold right there.

Maybe it's just that Sync is an outdated mess, but I can't even see your profile pic.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.
It's just flickering static. You're not missing out.

On Reddit, it changed to something semi-unique and, even though I never changed it, I somehow identified with it.
That's what Tesseract does; pseudorandom avatars based on the actor ID if the profile hasn't set one. But those are just local, though.
Lol, here's what it generates for yours:
Thx I hate it!
