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.

    I’ve had the same one since I started, though I did change it when someone customized it for me - it was too good not to use.

      That’s valid lol closest I have is the one I’m using at the moment. I’ve made a couple ones for myself but that’s about it. I’ve had more than enough memes made about me (which is surreal enough as it is), so I’m good lol
