    I can’t see any profile pics on the Lemmy app I use. 🤷

    If Lemmy were styled after an old-school forum board rather than reddit I’d agree with you, but because profile pics on Lemmy are so tiny they’re basically pointless. However they’re just large and colorful enough to be distracting. Lemmy’s format can feel a bit cluttered as is, and I’d rather be able to scan and quickly identify important info–such as whether a comment poster is OP–than have my eye get caught by something superfluous and purely aesthetic like a profile pic. Thus I’d rather they do away with them entirely, at least in bylines.

      I recognize people with profile Pic way better than people without. That’s about the only use I can think of.

        Yeah, and I don’t want to recognise people on a Reddit-style site. Nor do I want people to instantly recognise me.

      Boost user here. They only exist when changing accounts for me.

      I see them on Sync pretty frequently. It’s a tiny thumbnail, so I usually can’t tell what it is, but it helps me keep track of the conversation.

    Nah fam. Besides, on my screen at least they’re so microscopic as to be pretty much unrecognizable anyway.
