The emojis are pretty dope but not quite the same thing
Sir this is communist website. Everything must uniform, grey and sad.
Just sign every one of your posts with your favorite emoji until everyone is forced to admit that it is yours :knifecat:
I couldn't find anything more thematically appropriate to my username, so I'm just gonna call dibs on this one: :vonnegut:
I have literally never seen that one before but it's great, good choice
Can we get an emoji that's just -7DeadlyFetishes in 10pt Arial?
Sounds like someone is jealous they don't have emojis that go with their name :volcel-judge: :volcel-police:
"Y'know the Nazis had little pieces of flair they made the Jews wear"
You know what, FlakesBongler, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Yes please, I miss my tweed-wearing-ork avi because without it people don't fully appreciate my "Theory of Permanent WAAAGH" joke.
Might choose :amber: just so the bot responds to all my comments and people are more likely to pay attention to everything I post because it has engagement :sicko-yes:
The Lemmy platform has profile pics built in that show up next to your username on posts/comments.
I think there were some abuse concerns early on and the devs just don't have time to implement them safely.
Because we are more concerned with security than your typical web forum.
Allowing the embedding of an arbitrary image in a page as an avatar/profile picture has been a commons source for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and tracking of users.
if you control the server the image is hosted on you can track the IPs of people who load that picture. If you know the image will be presented to the user unaltered then you can craft malicious images that can exploit things. if you create an account to only DM one person it's even possible to specifically target one user with these kinds of attacks.
This is also the reason we have not yet enabled direct embedding of images in comments or post bodies.
We have some idea on how to combat these vulnerabilities and enable these features, and they are on the todo list. But as of yet, no one contributing to the team has had the time to tackle them in lieu of the other work we have been focusing on.
I'm down. Hate having to read usernames.
Make them all the same size tho, no oversize allowed.
Personally I've never liked flairs, anywhere. The just clog up the screen.
I have a confession to make: I only ever browsed /r/CTH in redesigned reddit. Please mock me mercilessly
Turn the downvote buttons back on damn it, we need them now more than ever
Maybe integrate it with the trusted user configuration that's under discussion, somehow?
