For real. I can never understand why some of ye don't have a cool pfp. You could even get some cool background art on your profile as well. Really jazz it up, ya know. But I swear 90% instead opt for the default lemmy logo. How uncreative and boring. I can't even tell most of you people apart.

    For me it’s people who have a profile pic of their kids on a messaging platform. The point of the pic is to make it easy to tell people apart in my conversation list and I’m not talking to their toddler, I’m talking to them.

        That was one of the things I miss most about Boost. The ability to tag users was so nice both as a way to keep track of and remember nice facts about users I routinely interacted with in private subs, and to stop myself from bothering to argue with someone I’ve previously titled “depressing incel” or “autism vaccines.”

        Made reading what they said easier to bear, even, with the constant reminder that it’s being typed by someone who drinks piss or whatever
