Comment on Hot take: Users without a profile pick are mildlyinfuriating
SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo 9 months agoFor me it’s people who have a profile pic of their kids on a messaging platform. The point of the pic is to make it easy to tell people apart in my conversation list and I’m not talking to their toddler, I’m talking to them.

Some of those apps let you set your own for people. I like that method. It would be cool for a social media site, too. Every clown you encounter gets the clown avatar! 🤣

That was one of the things I miss most about Boost. The ability to tag users was so nice both as a way to remember nice little facts about users I routinely interacted with in private subs, and to stop myself from bothering to argue with someone I've previously titled "depressing incel" or "autism vaccines."
Made reading what they said easier to bear, even, with the constant reminder that it's being typed by someone who drinks piss or whatever
