7 0 ReplyYes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.
4 0 ReplyWhat I really need is a huge "signature" panel under every comment I make.
3 0 ReplyEvery once in awhile I visit an old forum that allowed obnoxiously long signatures with huge banners and gifs in them. I won't miss that.

Do we really have profile pictures? I didn't know that
81 0 ReplyIt's the main way I recognise regular posters
34 0 ReplyThat seems short sighted, for example the very popular voyager client doesn't show any profile pictures. I wasn't even aware those are a thing. I dont want one either though.
14 0 ReplyAnd that's why I'll never add one.

Who tf wants to see profile pics
70 1 ReplyThere are profile pics on Lemmy? Why would anyone want that?

I've been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice "regulars" now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that's a good thing or not I've no idea.
13 0 ReplyI don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW

6 0 ReplyI find over half the people that do it are unhinged, so it's a great way to weed out undesirables as I browse. I love the block function.
Thank you to all the blocked people who expressed their mental illness or skewed views of reality so thoroughly.
(Ps: they can still read my comments, but I can't see theirs, except as a reply that never shows up... it fills me with warmth)

26 0 ReplyCurrently there doesn't seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
22 0 ReplyHas Lemmy finally made it? We are big time now?
22 0 ReplyNot quite yet, but yeah, probably gonna be "big time" soon if I had to guess. Reddit is inaccessible through a VPN (while logged out) now, so it's basically dead at this point.
6 0 ReplyThat’s what everyone said nine months ago when they blocked API access, and all third party phone apps stopped working.
They still seem to be doing fine over there.

Pfp? Well I missed a memo. Seem to be fine without one though since I didn’t even know that was a thing.
21 0 ReplySame. I only browse on mobile, and it doesn't show pfps.

3 1 ReplyWhy am I associated with only one of these things?
2 0 ReplyWe don’t got no pictures. I guess I need to dig out my Spock in drag pic.
I didn’t even know you could have a profile pic. I’ve never seen one on here.
4 0 ReplyYou totally can. Mine is a penguin.
Lemmy being what it is, visibility probably depends on a thousand tweaky little factors like which instance you're on, which instance you're looking at, and what client you're using.
