I can't see any profile pics on the Lemmy app I use. 🤷

This isnt facebook, and no one wants it to be.

You don't have to put your face.... You could put a giant butthole as your profile pic if that's what you want.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now don't give them any ideas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just trying to be helpful. They could use roosters head as their profile, there's plenty of things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don't want your face either.

I mean as for us in our lovely little place, won’t or can’t

If Lemmy were styled after an old-school forum board rather than reddit I'd agree with you, but because profile pics on Lemmy are so tiny they're basically pointless. However they're just large and colorful enough to be distracting. Lemmy's format can feel a bit cluttered as is, and I'd rather be able to scan and quickly identify important info--such as whether a comment poster is OP--than have my eye get caught by something superfluous and purely aesthetic like a profile pic. Thus I'd rather they do away with them entirely, at least in bylines.

I recognize people with profile Pic way better than people without. That's about the only use I can think of.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and I don't want to recognise people on a Reddit-style site. Nor do I want people to instantly recognise me.

I'm on Sync and pretty much never see them lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Boost user here. They only exist when changing accounts for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I see them on Sync pretty frequently. It's a tiny thumbnail, so I usually can't tell what it is, but it helps me keep track of the conversation.

PFPs are bloat

Nah fam. Besides, on my screen at least they're so microscopic as to be pretty much unrecognizable anyway.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Mine was stolen.

Nice! Y'know, Lemmy is surprisingly more toxic than Reddit, at least in Reddit, hate comments were 40%, not 90% lmao
