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?
Voyager doesn’t even show them
There are profile pictures?
Yep, do you see mine?
No.
I do. But its because I’m on the browser and i usually use an app on my phone. I added a picture. So this comment is to see if it works.
Yep it does!
I like not being particularly recognizable. Treat me like everyone else that you don’t know.
and a way to be recognizable more easily.
I do not desire that.
I never look at anyone else’s profile/picture. They aren’t shown anywhere obvious in Voyager app.
Can’t be arsed
Voyager doesn’t show them, and I don’t really use the web version at all.
Because I’m not interested in having a profile picture and idk even what it would be
Wait there’s profile pictures? I just see usernames in the comment threads in Lemmy and that seems fine to me
I’m using Voyager, so not sure if that is the problem? As I too, just see user names
The app I’m on doesn’t show them and I don’t care one way or another. And you will recognise me by my posts!
You can have a profile picture?!?
I never click on anyone’s profile, so I didn’t think it mattered
This, with a side of “I can’t be arsed”.
Do you see it to the left of my name?
I don’t see it. I use eternity
Many people don’t want to be recognizable.
Why bother. I’m here to lurk, post an occasional comment, and enjoy. Not to make a reputation or become visible.
Haven’t even looked into how. I think Lemmy is federated with some other types of fediverse styles, too? The interface I’m on doesn’t emphasise individual user pfps. I can see pfps but they’re tiny circles on my phone that I only notice if they’re pointed out.
Wait, you guys are setting profile pics?
I simply don’t care enough.
