In comment sections or in community pages, it’s mostly an ocean of default avatars. Why do you choose to stand out with a custom avatar on this semi-anonymous platform?

      Do you use Voyager? Or perhaps another client? Nothing about the user profile is surfaced in Voyager. You have to go to the native webview and open a user’s profile to see all that. I set a brief bio there, but until it’s exposed in my primary client I don’t really see any reason to worry about all that.

      I do sometimes check on nsfw boards so can flag users as OF creators vs. amateurs because I have more appreciation for folks doing that for fun than as a hustle. Other than that, it’s too much hassle to go checking everyone’s profile when maybe 10% of people set anything at all.
