I tried, there was an issue uploading the picture and I just couldn't be bothered to look deeper into it.

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?
Can't see them on Lemmy Connect either. I like having this platform be as distanced from social media attributes as possible. Like other users have said, every extra bit of anonymity is a boon.
If I wanted someone’s opinion to matter more based on who they are, I’d use Mastodon.
I can't see anyone's avatars and did not know I could set one, but I also wouldn't if I could as I think they're always a bit cringe. I prefer the sea of anonymity.
Boost only shows them on individual user profile pages, not in threads, so I don't even know who has one to go look at it.
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.
Maybe it's just that Sync is an outdated mess, but I can't even see your profile pic. I can see others, just not yours.

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
You sunuvabitch, I'm in!
You are probably a dude who spends money on skins and battlepasses.
Why? Do you want to date my avatar? She’s a Star!
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 changed it just for you 💾
Lol, nice! It hasn't federated here yet, but I clicked onto your home instance and it shows up. 🤘
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.
None of my reddit accounts had avatars either. I would get banned so quickly it didn't make sense.
If it seems like Lemmy is a more welcoming place, I might make the effort. Not sure yet.
I think I have one .. don't know who can see my Snoopy.
