I recently made a PR for default PFPs. I was thinking of using using a priority of user set pfp > instance default pfp > Lemmy lemming. Is this something people would actually want?
Edit: randomly generated pfps could work too.
Default Profile Pictures: Yes? No? Something else?

It would make the web UI look better to me.
I sometimes just don't know where to look for things and when I see a circle with a picture I know the text on the right is a username. Also helps with reading comments if the colors are different...
An alternative would be to give me the choice to hide all PFPs to make the UI homogeneous...

...eh, I personally wouldn't go out of my way to advocate for them, but I don't actively reject them either, so long as they're simple. The ones Discord has comes to mind.

I like this idea, and I would support it, I am curious though, would the default PFP be per instance or for the software at large?

It would look for yours first, then your instance's, then finally a software default. The linked PR only handle the first and third, however.

No, thanks. If I don't upload an image, I didn't ask for an image to be used to represent me. It's fine that people can upload images, but please don't assume everyone wants one.
