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 .ee accounts that never bother to go back and set one.
My what?
My literal first reaction was “we have avatars?”
The fuc is op about lmao
We’ve got Avatar’s now?
Avatars aren’t info. They just clutter the screen. They very, very rarely are interesting. At worst, they show something inappropriate. They require moderation. They don’t match any aesthetic of the site.
I literally didn’t know they were supported and never see them anyway.
It is irrelevant.
I don’t see the point. Even on my monster screen they’re only 6mm² so if it’s anything other than simple line art it’s just a small meaningless square of digital noise.
I don’t even see or care to see avatars. Its just clutter imo.
Yeah same. Does Connect even have a setting for that? I mean I won’t use it; I guess I never bothered to look is all.
There is a setting. The profile pictures are so small in list view, you can’t really tell what it is.
I gots one, they’re just fun
(Clicks on your avatar)
Not sure what I’m looking at, but can confirm it’s fun!
I don’t even see it on voyager. I don’t know why I would want an avatar anyway.
procrastination of drawing one
I haven’t cared about stuff like that since I was 15
Idk how to use anything here
Dang I thought I had. Thanks for the reminder - fixed!
Nicely done!
I don’t care enough
Because having a pfp is gay
Guys, I feel like this is a joke rather than an insult. This person has a profile picture.
Mine’s tied to my gravatar from 15 years ago otherwise I wouldn’t have one. I’m not here to have a profile picture lol
My app either doesn’t show them or it’s off by default. I didn’t know there were avatars but I’m not interested in them either since I’m reading on my phone and prefer a minimalist view.
Same. No avatars shown in voyager.
