It’s the main way I recognise regular posters
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
That seems short sighted, for example the very popular voyager client doesn’t show any profile pictures. I wasn’t even aware those are a thing. I dont want one either though.
can@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
And that’s why I’ll never add one.
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
It seems like a lot of ppl don’t know that haha
Pandantic@midwest.social 8 months ago
Well, they don’t show up in the app I use (except when I post or comment and I see mine).
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Avatars and banners
steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
I don’t see them on my client, but I remember I set one up on web when I first opened my account.

It’s neat
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yep
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 8 months ago
yep, we do. Mine is of a doggie
Frozzie@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t know about you but I do have a profile picture
Graphy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Who tf wants to see profile pics
idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice “regulars” now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that’s a good thing or not I’ve no idea.
WereCat@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW

I find over half the people that do it are unhinged, so it’s a great way to weed out undesirables as I browse. I love the block function.
Thank you to all the blocked people who expressed their mental illness or skewed views of reality so thoroughly.
(Ps: they can still read my comments, but I can’t see theirs, except as a reply that never shows up… it fills me with warmth)

100% of people who have one of those stupid anime avatars are insane.
NickwithaC@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s a useful anti bot tool.
can@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
No it’s not
Jax@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Ah, I didn’t realize we haven’t reached the point with AI where they can download and upload images.
Why the fuck are so many people so scared of AI? Lol fucking idiots.

Damn! He’s here?!? RichardRealName is my nemesis!
flicker@lemmy.world 8 months ago
We must keep you two apart at all costs.
Also, I’m on your side. He sounds like a real dick.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Sus!!

Don’t hate on 3 word names. We exist and our feelings are valid, damnit! 😭

Hey, I have some trouble reading this image with my humany eyes.
Can you help me read its content ?

Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh damn, that was not my intention
GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s okay… sniff We’re used to it…

Phew, I have a 2 word username. I’m safe!

Don’t forget RandomNonsenseWords2404
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Oh yeah, those are big words coming from such an obvious banana.
I’m tired of all these fruitman accounts.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is an anti-fruitman account, good sir. I demand you desist with those slurs.
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
But only the early gang can have the cool nicks
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Are you telling me AcFgGeRHo2RtG2F765YRhj isn’t a cool username?
samus12345@lemmy.world 8 months ago
names with numbers in them are such obvious bots.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Especially when they appear in chronological order
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
ReallyValidName
OP, your nick is literally Rolfmasterbigpimp
Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t see any Problem 🥸
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Personally would’ve preferred RolfMasterBigPimp
TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
TIL about profile pics lmao
jaybone@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Has Lemmy finally made it? We are big time now?
StephenTallentyre@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Not quite yet, but yeah, probably gonna be “big time” soon if I had to guess. Reddit is inaccessible through a VPN (while logged out) now, so it’s basically dead at this point.
jaybone@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s what everyone said nine months ago when they blocked API access, and all third party phone apps stopped working.
They still seem to be doing fine over there.
FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Currently there doesn’t seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Pfp? Well I missed a memo. Seem to be fine without one though since I didn’t even know that was a thing.
DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Same. I only browse on mobile, and it doesn’t show pfps.
Metype@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Making me realize I never set up a profile
Username02@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I am a rueal heuman trush me.
assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Shit I need to make a profile pic now
rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I feel attacked.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Sad fact of online life.
Default_Defect@midwest.social 8 months ago
Not at all a recent phenomenon.
Resol@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Why am I associated with only one of these things?
anon987@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You really don’t like immigrants
menemen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You guys have profile pictures?
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Only Flying Squid and Margot Robbie have profile pictures and I refuse to acknowledge anyone else’s.
Poayjay@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What about ThePicardManeuver?!
menemen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Hey, I have a profile picture now. :)
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Didn’t knew it was thing, now I have one too :D
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Welcome to the club, bud 👍
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nice!
NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes (please look at mine I really want everyone to look at mine)
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Did you draw it? If so, that’s neat
Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 8 months ago
Woomy
xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
I checked it out! I have avatars disabled. Didn’t even know they were a thing. I can confidently say; yours is the best avatar on Lemmy that I have ever seen! audience clapping
menemen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Impressive!
GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I can’t even see that shit in voyager and happy for it
saltesc@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I forgot they were a thing because my app has them off lol
gmtom@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.
Klear@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What I really need is a huge “signature” panel under every comment I make.
PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Every once in awhile I visit an old forum that allowed obnoxiously long signatures with huge banners and gifs in them. I won’t miss that.
