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.
They are just so small idrc about others so I dont bother to put one
I have one because I finally found a fun pic that was mostly round so it with fill up the avatar bubble enough to still be distinguishable what it was. Most are way too small to make out what it is, and not intriguing enough to click to the profile just to see it slightly larger.
If mine didn’t serve slightly as a promo for my community, I’d likely still have the default.
