    My take is completely different. If you have the option why not just snazzy it up with a couple of images. I think it’s shows a bit of personality.

      You’re reminding me of the Chotchkie’s manager in Office Space: Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don’t you?

      I don’t really want to show my personality, I want to be faceless

      Because Lemmy, as Reddit, is focused on topics not people. It’s not for influencers. Avatars on discussion boards are weird and unnecessary.

  I can’t even tell most of you people apart.

  Have you ever considered maybe that's the point? Maybe people want to be judged for what they say instead of what image they had on hand when they signed up?

  I uploaded a pic while playing with all the shiny features over here, but I was faceless on reddit for years after their introduction of profile pics, because I was there to have discussions, not build a profile.

  I don’t feel that much for a site like this, but it sure bugs the fuck outta me when some dude on Grindr asks me for pics when they don’t even have a profile pic.

  • SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    For 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.

    • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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! 🤣

  I don't like seeing profile pics. It takes away some of the anomity and makes me judge a comment before I read it.

  source

  • Poggervania@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    On one hand, this.

    On the other hand, it’s useful to see anime/cryptobro/laser eye pfps since those tend to stereotypically tell you everything you need to know about that person.

      What does my pfp say about me then?

  Maybe we just don’t care about a profile picture. Are you here to look at my picture or discuss topics?

  If I wanted “jazz it up” I’d be hanging out on MySpace.

  Is this just a way to get people to check out your banner? If so… cool banner.

• Neato@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I honestly can't tell if most people (in this thread even) don't have profile pics or if I can't see them because kbin.social has some weird federation issues (like with votes).

  But I also learned recently you can use a gif as a profile pic. I like my animated pic and it brings a little nostalgia bomb every time I see it.

  • Riven@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    you can use a gif

    This is the comment I needed. You’ve convinced me.

  Can’t even figure out in Voyager where to set it.

• insomniac_lemon@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I think it should be at least somewhat personal, so a bit more difficult to have something interesting I suppose. Especially with restrictions, at least on Kbin I think with the avatar it's 100x100 and for profile background it's 1500x500 (and then that gets zoomed in a tiny bit for whatever reason).

  I am not sure what's up with the linked SVG, but I'd be more inclined to create something better if live-rendered SVGs were possible here (but you can't upload them and even the linked one doesn't get a thumbnail).

  In Kbin there's this userscript that change all default pfp to cockatoos

  Lots of gray box profiles on comments in this thread. Guess this really was a hot take.

  • Tuss@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I use connect for Lemmy so I don’t see profile pictures. I didn’t even know it was a thing.

    On reddit I used RIF and old.reddit and I had all subreddit personalisation turned off. So no personal snoo or profile page there either or whatever people did.
