Do we really have profile pictures? I didn’t know that
Ye
I don’t know about you but I do have a profile picture
It’s the main way I recognise regular posters
That seems short sighted, for example the very popular voyager client doesn’t show any profile pictures. I wasn’t even aware those are a thing. I dont want one either though.
It’s just easier to notice than a name, but some users have eye catching names too, some use emojis for example.
And that’s why I’ll never add one.
Avatars and banners
It seems like a lot of ppl don’t know that haha
Well, they don’t show up in the app I use (except when I post or comment and I see mine).
I don’t see them on my client, but I remember I set one up on web when I first opened my account.
Well, here’s how yours looks on my client:
Cool, I kind of wish voyager showed the profile pics now
yep, we do. Mine is of a doggie
Yep
It’s neat
TIL about profile pics lmao
Shit I need to make a profile pic now
Currently there doesn’t seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
Damn! He’s here?!? RichardRealName is my nemesis!
You guys have profile pictures?
I can’t even see that shit in voyager and happy for it
Yes (please look at mine I really want everyone to look at mine)
Did you draw it? If so, that’s neat
I did! It was made with inkscape
Woomy
Impressive!
I checked it out! I have avatars disabled. Didn’t even know they were a thing. I can confidently say; yours is the best avatar on Lemmy that I have ever seen! audience clapping
How do you enable them on Voyager?
I don’t see a way to do this in the settings.
Oh. Rip.
Hey, I have a profile picture now. :)
Welcome to the club, bud 👍
Nice!
Thank you.
Didn’t knew it was thing, now I have one too :D
Only Flying Squid and Margot Robbie have profile pictures and I refuse to acknowledge anyone else’s.
What about ThePicardManeuver?!
I forgot they were a thing because my app has them off lol
Yes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.
What I really need is a huge “signature” panel under every comment I make.
Every once in awhile I visit an old forum that allowed obnoxiously long signatures with huge banners and gifs in them. I won’t miss that.
Who tf wants to see profile pics
I’ve been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice “regulars” now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that’s a good thing or not I’ve no idea.
I don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW
It’s a useful anti bot tool.
Ah, I didn’t realize we haven’t reached the point with AI where they can download and upload images.
Why the fuck are so many people scared of AI? Lol fucking idiots.
No it’s not
There are profile pics on Lemmy? Why would anyone want that?
How do I set one in Voyager?
I don’t think it’s supported yet. but you could sign in to the website for others using different frontends to see.
I find over half the people that do it are unhinged, so it’s a great way to weed out undesirables as I browse. I love the block function.
Thank you to all the blocked people who expressed their mental illness or skewed views of reality so thoroughly.
(Ps: they can still read my comments, but I can’t see theirs, except as a reply that never shows up… it fills me with warmth)
100% of people who have one of those stupid anime avatars are insane.
