I recently made a PR for default PFPs. I was thinking of using using a priority of user set pfp > instance default pfp > Lemmy lemming. Is this something people would actually want?
Edit: randomly generated pfps could work too.
You must log in or register to comment.
No, thanks. If I don’t upload an image, I didn’t ask for an image to be used to represent me. It’s fine that people can upload images, but please don’t assume everyone wants one.
It would make the web UI look better to me.
I sometimes just don’t know where to look for things and when I see a circle with a picture I know the text on the right is a username. Also helps with reading comments if the colors are different…
An alternative would be to give me the choice to hide all PFPs to make the UI homogeneous……eh, I personally wouldn’t go out of my way to advocate for them, but I don’t actively reject them either, so long as they’re simple. The ones Discord has comes to mind.
I like this idea, and I would support it, I am curious though, would the default PFP be per instance or for the software at large?
It would look for yours first, then your instance’s, then finally a software default. The linked PR only handle the first and third, however.
