In comment sections or in community pages, it’s mostly an ocean of default avatars. Why do you choose to stand out with a custom avatar on this semi-anonymous platform?
Avatar ? The blue people ? The bald kid ?
So that everyone on the internet can know I am a dog.
Sup dog

When I joined it seemed like most people had an avatar. I have used this one for years, so why not?
I also like recognizing other Lemmings. Username is alright for that, but the image helps even more. It makes it feel like a small community from the internet of old (forums).
It’s an ornithological avatar. I’m trying to raise mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
Completely forgot there are profile avatars on Lemmy. BRB, gotta hop on my desktop to see if I have one set up. Cannot find any settings about it in Voyager ( probably didn’t look hard enough or my eyes glossed over it ).
Edit: editing on my browser and I have my favorite Tiny Toons character as my profile avatar. All is good. I don’t have many images I use as profile avatars, so Dizzy Devil Ducky it was. At least that;s what I imagine was going through my head.
I find it easier to follow a thread if I can quickly tell who is saying what. I usually don’t remember the usernames so a picture helps there. It’s not a necessity of course
I didn’t realize its a lesser used feature. There was probably generic auto-assigned pfp and I dont like those.
Easier to quickly distinguish between users with different-colored indicators for different users. There isn’t built-in functionality to do that. If there was, I wouldn’t have.
i like cat
And I like owl.

Because ^
I like spaceships…
It woofs sadly
I didn’t. So there.
I’m used to having an avatar of some kind. Plus I think it looks good.
No reason in particular, i like mad Tom O’bedlam and his god of cities from the invisibles comic based on the 17th century poem/song
