I consider profile pictures as a way to be more visually appealing, and a way to be recognizable more easily.
Why don’t you have a profile picture?
Wait, you guys are setting profile pics?
I simply don’t care enough.
On social media where it’s only anons from all around the internet, I put a silly picture like here.
But on social media where my friends or my family are, I won’t put my face because hell no, and I won’t put something silly either because it’s hard enough to look normal.
I rarely use thoses social media so I’m fine without a profile picture at all.
This is a place to be part of a crowd, not really about being recognized. I’m not here to make personal friends, nor a following.
I’m here for news and discussion. This doesn’t really require recognizability between threads
I never click on anyone’s profile, so I didn’t think it mattered
Do you see it to the left of my name?
I don’t see it. I use eternity
No, my client doesn’t show them.
I like not being particularly recognizable. Treat me like everyone else that you don’t know.
I do have a profile picture, but I don’t think it’s crucial. Other link aggregators often don’t have profile pictures so if you’re used to those, you may not think to set one. In any case I’ve never thought anyone’s profile picture on here was particularly consequential to me.
Because I’m not interested in having a profile picture and idk even what it would be
oh im just such a typical and ordinary eathling that I don’t see the point of a profile pic.
One less possible data point for tracking
Also not invested enough in my profile to bother
I don’t care enough to set one
Voyager doesn’t show them, and I don’t really use the web version at all.
I don’t see it even on the browser version of Voyager, so I don’t think you’re missing out on anything.
🐭 👍
A person of culture, 👍 .
You can set profile pictures on Lemmy?
Eup, In your profile settings
As others have said, I use a client that doesn’t display them, so it never dawned on me. And in general, profile pics have never been a big deal for me. So if the app or site doesn’t make me do it as part of the account set up, my profile pic just stays as the default.
Yes? What the hell 😔
I have been meaning to for over a year, Im just too
lazybusy to get around to it.I never look at anyone else’s profile/picture. They aren’t shown anywhere obvious in Voyager app.
