A tip to new users of Mastodon:
By adding a profile picture you make it easier for others to recognize individual users. If you don't, people like me see a follower list where everyone looks the same.
The best profile picture is a selfie. The second best is any other picture than the default.
Welcome to the best social medium on the planet!

Indeed, we humans are visual people.
Pimp that profile with your selfie or if you don't want to show your face put up a picture of your cat or dog. Or get creative and upload a caricature drawing of yourself. Anything as long as it is original.
Very much appreciated, thank you.

I suggested to allow users to choose among more profile pictures than the one grey elephant picture (for example different animals and different colours), for those people who don't want or who are not able to upload a picture.
But it is a feature too easy for the Mastodon team to implement.
@randahl if Mastodon people start to use profile pictures, I bet half of them will be cat profile pictures. 😂

A lot of these with no picture, zero followers & no bio are more than probably bots & should be blocked.
