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.
Why do you bother with an avatar for your Lemmy account?
because i need everyone to know i am a lion
Why can’t you just tell the truth for once? You don’t always have to be lion.
i have to be true to who i am, after all, I have my pride
If that’s your mane point, then I guess it’s acceptable.
Because it reminds me of forums to have one. No other reason
