A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I agree, instead let's go with NFT profile pictures

Profile pictures are nice, but they force the comment section to have a lot of unused space.

On the bottom @Briongloid comment you see that the profile picture forces extra unused real estade. I'd prefer comment section to be much more compact. Similar to old.reddit.com

Maybe that could be an opportunity to make a unique twist for profile pictures on lemmy. Maybe crop them to an elongated square that fits within the line height.

Maybe something like this

This is one of my biggest "issues" with lemmy (first world problem basically). There is a lot of whitespace and I wish there was a good css to fix this. I searched for many lemmy themes but none of them fixes the white space issue.

I'm optimistic though. I'm sure with time, we'll get plenty of options for everyone's tastes.
