Web developers seem to care more about "OMG PRETTY" and less about "usable" and that makes me sad.

Especially when the choices aren't really that aesthetically better.

@ccolocho They're great when they crop out half my face or something, or if my avatar isn't even a face and it crops a flag.

@Elizafox thats why you let users choose the crop/positioning of it

imo round avatars just look better

@ccolocho It should be a choice

Well, not that you're allowed to have any of that either.

@Elizafox @ccolocho funny you say that...

I was the one that did the avatar unification thing that wound up on glitch.social (and got rejected from mastodon proper), and I made sure to make it a SCSS variable so instances can change the border to be round just in case.
