If you’re used to it, it’s very comfortable but yeah I do think it might be one of those things that’s difficult to learn new, after being exposed to the modern web which has stable avatars everywhere

On tumblr someone changing their avatar could totally be a completely different person. I remember having to often go to their blog looking for clues to their previous identity.

It definitely wouldn't work on boba as it is now cause comments don't show name, but I've been considering ways to change that cause some people use those for identity indeed.

1) this is all true
2) this conversation inspired me to go icon hunting -- my powers are growing

SEE, I feel like this but showing the OG avatar bottom right boba-identities-style would work well, but there is entirely too much space from where the name is to where the icon is to my adhd to be able to deal with this.

Not everyone has a default icon!
