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.

    Because it’s an anonymous website?

    I thought that they were dumb on Reddit and I think they’re even dumber here.

      Pseudo-anonymous, but from the toxicity on display here, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was 4chan.
