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?
You must log in or # to comment.
and a way to be recognizable more easily.
I do not desire that.
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!
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
Voyager doesn’t even show them
Wait, you guys are setting profile pics?
I simply don’t care enough.
I like not being particularly recognizable. Treat me like everyone else that you don’t know.
Because it’s about the discussion and exchange of information & ideas, not about individuals.
I work 100% remotely, and my day job doesn’t even have profile pics. When we meet, it’s a dozen cartoon images or memes as faces. No cams, no pics.
The side gig I’ve had for 20 years has never had a pic. These people wouldn’t recognize me if I walked in the office one day.
Why should I? We don’t see a value.
I never look at anyone else’s profile/picture. They aren’t shown anywhere obvious in Voyager app.
Because I’m not interested in having a profile picture and idk even what it would be
You can have a profile picture?!?
Can’t be arsed
Voyager doesn’t show them, and I don’t really use the web version at all.
I like not seeing people’s pictures in discussions.
I feel like I get a diverse opinion from people of all age, race, and other background. And we are united on our common interests in the topic without an implicit bias.
It might have shortcomings, and my case is for not having your real picture in your profile.
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!
