Wait there’s profile pictures? I just see usernames in the comment threads in Lemmy and that seems fine to me

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.

There are profile pictures?

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.

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 have been meaning to for over a year, Im just too lazy busy to get around to it.

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?!?

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!

On social media where it’s only anons from all around the internet, I put a silly picture like here.

But on social media where my friends or my family are, I won’t put my face because hell no, and I won’t put something silly either because it’s hard enough to look normal.

I rarely use thoses social media so I’m fine without a profile picture at all.

I have one only because it’s the one I use everywhere.

I don’t see anyone else’s though, the app I use doesn’t show them mostly.
