I can't remember if I even bothered setting one. My app doesn't use them. I don't find them particularly useful on forums anyways. I only like them on real time chat apps where I know I'll be interacting with the same folks over and over again.

Edit: I did set one up!

Avatars are a psychological trick useful for building up sunk cost fallacy and making a user more likely to personally identify with a product. I don't have social media avatars for the same reason I don't have "nabisco" tattooed on my asscheek.

I don't know why others don't but I'll say why I do, which is that I noticed people were remembering my username whether I had an image or not, so why not have an image? And it was early days, still is, so I figured... may as well be the first static.

i havent set it to discord either, or anywhere else either for that matter. Only for steam, but that is because i set it when i was child and i havent wanted to get rid of it for nostalagia's sake and because i cant think of anything better.

it just feels unnecessary

Avatars aren't info. They just clutter the screen. They very, very rarely are interesting. At worst, they show something inappropriate. They require moderation. They don't match any aesthetic of the site.

I literally didn't know they were supported and never see them anyway.

why would I set a custom avatar?

I don't even see or care to see avatars. Its just clutter imo.

It is irrelevant.

I forgot.

The Voyager app doesn't even show your avatar. So I didnt even know we could all set one since I use this app so much.

I think I have one .. don't know who can see my Snoopy.

My reader doesn't even show avatars

I'm too lazy to search for the image I usually use.

eh... I've thought about it but it becomes a chore and idk really

I don't care enough

I mostly browse while at work to kill time... I don't have access to the avatar I would use at work. Also I don't think I see people's avatars with the front end I use?

Tbh I keep meaning to add one but I'm also a wicked procrastinator

Why? Do you want to date my avatar? She’s a Star!

You see my user name - that's all you need. You want more info? I've got a comment history you can see too. Why do I need some visual component that I can change when I've got an unchanging name until I decide to abandon this account and get a new one.

If I wanted someone’s opinion to matter more based on who they are, I’d use Mastodon.
