Why is it so common for people here to not have a profile pic? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I mean, it seems pretty easy to do. That way we could diffrenciate between users much easier and help it feel more like a community.

Because who cares? It's the content that matters, not how the profile looks of the person who posted it.

I didn't have one on reddit. I don't see the need to have one here. As someone else already mentioned, I barely pay attention to usernames, let alone profile pics. I care about what you're saying. Not what you or your profile look like.

Oh, ok. Yeah I completely get it.

Though I do just sometimes have those weird feelings, like with how so many people just look the same aside from the name, that I'm not really talking with other people. Yeah I know that's very silly and unusual but it's just kind of a weird feeling I have, like I'm speaking to a mass conglomerate or a bot instead of a normal, living person. I guess I just got so used to people having their own, detailed profile that someone not having it feel strange and unnatural, if that makes sense.
