I mean, it seems pretty easy to do. That way we could diffrenciate between users much easier and help it feel more like a community.
Because we have a name already and aren’t looking to share any personal info.
You can put any pic you like. Doesn’t have to include any personal info.
But then I’d have to pick something that doesn’t reveal anything about me, why should I make that effort?
I mean most people on the internet just pick a picture they like
Yes, I actually am this 16 yr old anime girl.
Don’t care about it
I use voyager and it straight up doesn’t display any avatars. Other apps might not either. But don’t take this to mean that I’d like to switch, this is far from a deal breaker for me.
The old Reddit interface also didn’t display avatars, either, even once Reddit introduced them.
I can have a profile pic?
yeah! you can change it in the account settings if you want to
Because who cares? It’s the content that matters, not how the profile looks of the person who posted it.
I didn’t have one on reddit. I don’t see the need to have one here. As someone else already mentioned, I barely pay attention to usernames, let alone profile pics. I care about what you’re saying. Not what you or your profile look like.
Oh, ok. Yeah I completely get it.
Though I do just sometimes have those weird feelings, like with how so many people just look the same aside from the name, that I’m not really talking with other people. Yeah I know that’s very silly and unusual but it’s just kind of a weird feeling I have, like I’m speaking to a mass conglomerate or a bot instead of a normal, living person. I guess I just got so used to people having their own, detailed profile that someone not having it feel strange and unnatural, if that makes sense.
It seems most people don’t care. I just happened to have one from discord/steam/twitch which is the only reason it’s on here.
Most people from reddit were not using avatars. Sometimes people had one from the avatar maker.
And sometimes someone had a hexagon and got rightly dunked on.
it’s not really that necessary though, who cares
… People have profile pictures?
I disabled them from the settings. Unnecessary clutter, names are enough to understand who you’re talking with
I’m on kbin, and I haven’t been able to figure out how to set one, if it’s even possible at all.
I’m on Memmy and I can’t find the setting anywhere. It’s driving me crazy.
No thank you! Genuinely, I’m here for content and to drop the occasional comment. I come from a time of irc and php. Customization was nice, but I’m not here for it these days.
You can have a profile picture?
Yeah! I think you can do it by going into settings for your profile.
While I have a pfp I also have it so I don’t see anyone’s pfp unless ik on their profile, and at that point it doesn’t matter. It just feels like clutter when I see It.
I think the mouse is cute.
Yeah, that’s fair.
