Tired this morning and I realized there is still a checkbox for "showing avatars" in settings that is "temporarily disabled". Vote pls

Fyi strawpoll’s embed is borked so don’t try to vote through there

For an example of what it might look like check out upstream lemmy

Edit: voting will close noon est

I… actually really like this idea. Will pitch it

Brb, submitting a new emoji exclusively for my avatar

And get rid of old ones

Honestly could we also have a vetting system. Regardless of if we use them or not, if mods ok something than anyone on the site can use it. So as an example I submit 20 photos of red army soldiers in various poses or circumstances etc, and whenever those get approved, they are then okayed for everyone henceforth. That way we dont have all new emotes being avatar wishlists

I like this idea a lot. Would stop trolls from putting shock pics as their avatar.

What if your avatar was automatically a burning American flag emoji and couldn’t be changed until like, x amount of posts so that trolls had to use the default anti-america one as they wouldn’t be able to change it before their ban?

New users get randomly assigned an avatar from a pool of extremely subversive, anti-american pics until they cross a certain post/upbeared comment score.

Sounds like flairs back on the sub, it’s a good idea.

You could do custom flair though, I definitely had a custom flair

Custom flair was text, I think, right?

I voted no but would totally support this

This idea changed my mind, at first I was a no but this is such a great idea

It’ll be a race on who gets what emoji tbh.

That’s an amazing idea!

Yes, but provided the entire thing get turned into a 2003 esque bulletins board style forum.

And all of the songs are from emo bands with names like Fall from Grace

Bleeding The Red Autumn

Going to one of those sites that would generate gifs of text effects and getting one of block letters on fire that say Xx_Plagued_Soul_669_xX for my signature

Hell yeah. I’m here for it

This, but unironically. Avatars would be messy on a reddit clone but are integral to a classic forum, which is what this site should be.

I’m abstaining my vote because I know this site is remaining a clone and because I’d rather have a set of avatar options instead of custom avatar, and I assume custom is what would happen.

Oh, I’m not being ironic. I legit would prefer we be an old school style forum. I also think it would just work better on the whole and be a cool thing we do that no one else does.

I’ve somehow joined SA again. We need to implement the toxx clause I guess

I voted yes and it changed to no

:soviet-huff: :84:

:trump-anguish: rigged!

I’m for it, but we better not have like 200 accounts with Stalin pfps. I reserve the right to treat all those people as the same person.

Is there a band called The Stalin Collective?

I don’t know any Russia. Stalin was Man of Steel so what would The Collective of Steel or The Steel Collective be in Russian?

I’ma have a pic of my Bhole

Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.
