Lots of gray box profiles on comments in this thread. Guess this really was a hot take.

Tuss ,

I use connect for Lemmy so I don’t see profile pictures. I didn’t even know it was a thing.

On reddit I used RIF and old.reddit and I had all subreddit personalisation turned off. So no personal snoo or profile page there either or whatever people did.

I think it should be at least somewhat personal, so a bit more difficult to have something interesting I suppose. Especially with restrictions, at least on Kbin I think with the avatar it's 500x500 (but usually downscaled to 100x100) and for profile background it's 1500x500 (and then that gets zoomed in a tiny bit for whatever reason).

Also relevant to the linked SVG, I'd be more inclined to create something better if live-rendered SVGs were possible here (but you can't upload them and even the linked one doesn't get a thumbnail). For instance my avatar was made in inkscape (though I'm not good at using it and I'd prefer a polygon workflow, like this animated eye that I made using Godot).

I can’t even tell most of you people apart.

Have you ever considered maybe that's the point? Maybe people want to be judged for what they say instead of what image they had on hand when they signed up?

I uploaded a pic while playing with all the shiny features over here, but I was faceless on reddit for years after their introduction of profile pics, because I was there to have discussions, not build a profile. And the one I picked here? It tells you almost nothing about me unless you already know the character in the image, which only people who have a similar niche interest might.

This is like whining about women who don't wear makeup, because "If you have the option why not just snazzy it up with a couple of images tiny bit of eyeshadow. I think it’s shows a bit of personality." Sometimes the active decision not to bother with cosmetic features IS the personality you're looking for.

Is this just a way to get people to check out your banner? If so… cool banner.

Track_Shovel , (edited ) to til in TIL about Moonbow: Nature's Rare and Beautiful Phenomenon Similar to Rainbow

I’ve actually seen one of these things. I was on night shift up at one of the mines in the middle of winter. Perfectly clear night. Super cold. The one I saw was pale but it was entirely massive and formed a halo around the moon

sag OP ,

You are so lucky. I hope I also see one of these things.

query , to til in TIL about Moonbow: Nature's Rare and Beautiful Phenomenon Similar to Rainbow

And then there’s the much rarer supernovabow.

kozel , to til in TIL about Moonbow: Nature's Rare and Beautiful Phenomenon Similar to Rainbow

I’ve seen it once and it was out-worldish (even though not as spectacular as the fotos at wikipedia).

Also TIL about dewbow and I want to see it.

RattlerSix ,

There’s also a fogbow

kozel ,

Jes, the moonbow I’ve seen was actually a moon-fog-bow.

naticus ,

Are you sure it wasn’t a fog-moon-bow?

kozel ,

Still better than bow-moon fog. I tend to get lost in aerosol of lunar magma caused by the Moon paying tribute to their planet.
