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 register to comment.
Because I would have to go do that.
I’m not even sure being recognised is a plus.
Mine is even animated.
I can’t see it 🥺🙁
Probably your client‘s fault.
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
Wait, you guys are setting profile pics?
I simply don’t care enough.
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.
and a way to be recognizable more easily.
I do not desire that.
Why would I?
Why would I want to be recognizable?
I use link/content aggregators as my social media of choice, because I am interested in content and communities.
I don’t care about curating some kind of online persona or interacting with any. This isn’t Instagram.
Why would you speak if you didn’t want to have a mouth? You have commented now one hundred and seventy eight times
I rather my individual comments speak for themselves. I not building a brand.
you want to be able to talk out of both sides of your mouth without anyone noticing
No, I just don’t go out of my way to make sure anyone does notice.
Why does this bother you? It feels baffling to get worked up like this.
Why does this bother you?
when people have negative opinions of my behavior it’s because they’re mad which automatically means wrong and bad

What? Are you answering my question or mocking it?
I am mocking it
How does me commenting have anything to do with what I said?
It doesn’t. They’re building some convoluted thing in their mind.
I speak with my words. Sometimes my actions. Pics also carry a shit ton of information I don’t want them to.
There are profile pictures?
Yep, do you see mine?
No, I don’t.
No.
Positive
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!
Is that from a picrew 🫵
Yep!
I have been meaning to for over a year, Im just too
lazybusy to get around to it.Because it’s about the discussion and exchange of information & ideas, not about individuals.
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.
Because, I consider profile pictures to be a way to be more visually appaling, and a way to be recognizable more easily (thing that I do not want).
Why do you have a profile picture?
I’m thirty to forty years old, I don’t need this shit.
We did just fine in IRC with no accounts just handles. Recognize me or don’t!
Why do YOU need a profile picture
