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.

      I will now judge you harshly for your transgression. Simply unforgivable. Smh

      Wait, your profile says you’ve only been around for 8 months. I swear I’ve been seeing you around for at least a couple years now…

      My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.

      I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.

      • I don’t remember what I used for mine, but I remember the prompt was just “a husky dog anthro but the fur that is normally black is green” it gave me 50 different things and this one was the only decent looking image in the whole batch.
