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

There are profile pictures?

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.

I like not being particularly recognizable. Treat me like everyone else that you don’t know.

I never look at anyone else’s profile/picture. They aren’t shown anywhere obvious in Voyager app.

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’m not interested in having a profile picture and idk even what it would be

Because it’s about the discussion and exchange of information & ideas, not about individuals.

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!

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

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.

I never click on anyone’s profile, so I didn’t think it mattered
