When the little “active users” photos rotate, I begin to feel I’m a cliche, as it seems like solidly 50% of you look the same.

    Who’s putting their real picture as a profile picture on an anonymous, public forum? Facebook is over there somewhere.

    " I’m seeing a lot of “Grey Square” profile pics, some alarmingly like my own. How many of us are there?"

    It’s the modern adult nerd look… Lemmy probably has a pretty specific demographic at this point in time.

    I thought this would be obvious, bearded with poor vision checking in.

    Your not asking the right question though, something that might now be obvious from profile pics. How many of the users are never-nude? 🤔

    Okay…. So… if y’all want a goldfish wearing a top hat for a profile pic…

    Welcome to a club of weirdos.

    I’ve got a beard but I wear contacts and would never use an actual picture of myself on a public forum like this.

    If beehaw’s post on their user demographics from earlier today is a valid representation of the fediverse as a whole, then 50% sounds about right!

    I, however, am obviously a small tree and have no need for glasses

      Maybe they’re all photos of the same guy, and behind them is the wondrous variety of human identity.

    solidly 50% of you look the same.

    Let me inflate that statistic a little, as somebody without a profile pic who looks exactly like that

      I just wanna take this time to say that every time I scroll past one of your comments, I think your icon is cute. I love those games and it makes me happy

    It’s cloning. Canadian cloning. Like Ryan George and all his clone who run the entertainment industry in Canada. Producer, director, writer, sound guy, intern, etc.

    In fact… you’re all probably clones of Ryan George. Check to see if you’re a Canadian named Ryan. Tons of you guys out there.

    Yea i noticed some ppl here who have a profile pic, they have a kinda similar style i guess (but nothing wrong w that!)

    really i was thinking its nice to see more people with their own pfp, is kinda cool to see who youre talking to.

    (Sorry to say im not in that group though - am not a guy, do not have a beard and tho i have glasses i dont usually wear them in pics lol)

      You can be a bearded, bespectacled man, if you want to be! I wonder what the feminine equivalent of “beard with glasses” would be on kbin/lemmy?
