OC I'm seeing a lot of "beardy guy with glasses" profile pics, some alarmingly like my own. How many of us are there?
When the little "active users" photos rotate, I begin to feel I'm a cliche, as it seems like solidly 50% of you look the same.
Alue42, Who's putting their real picture as a profile picture on an anonymous, public forum? Facebook is over there somewhere.
BuddhaBeettle, 
Yeah, about that... I have a secret to confess.
Im not actually a 2D dog
cyberian_khatru, 
Yeah, and I'm not a actually Alpha, the android protagonist from critically-acclaimed and cult classic iyashikei manga Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, either. Sorry, guys.
Ragnell, 
I am. I am absolutely a real Gorgon.
Nepenthe, 
Likewise. I am irl a disembodied voice emanating from a haunted jug. So a kameosa, I guess. The avatar's been stylized, though
metaStatic, " I'm seeing a lot of "Grey Square" profile pics, some alarmingly like my own. How many of us are there?"
SpicyPeaSoup, 
Omg me
key, You weren’t informed about the kbin cloning experiment? It was in the t&c
RetroEvolute, 
It's the modern adult nerd look... Lemmy probably has a pretty specific demographic at this point in time.
Sunforged, I thought this would be obvious, bearded with poor vision checking in.
Your not asking the right question though, something that might now be obvious from profile pics. How many of the users are never-nude? 🤔
saplyng, 
If beehaw's post on their user demographics from earlier today is a valid representation of the fediverse as a whole, then 50% sounds about right!
I, however, am obviously a small tree and have no need for glasses
MonsieurHedge, 
You and me both, my friend in foliage.
GataZapata, I would advise against putting a real photo of yourself
Ragnell, Maybe they're all photos of the same guy, and behind them is the wondrous variety of human identity.
Hobovision, 
I've got a beard but I wear contacts and would never use an actual picture of myself on a public forum like this.

Okay…. So… if y’all want a goldfish wearing a top hat for a profile pic…
Welcome to a club of weirdos.
Oshka, 
I'm a fan of frogs myself as you can see.
Flaky_Fish69, That’s a cute frog.
I’m my waiting for all the cat people to like in and disprove the bearded man as the most common…
billothekid2, 
I'm personally a fan of pirate broadcast intrusions of someone wearing a Max Headroom mask and getting away with it. As you can see.
Untitled_Pribor, 
And I'm a fan of the Nintendo mii maker, but don't confuse that with me being a Nintendo fan, I despise that company. Their games are good though
Flaky_Fish69, Hey, it works!
VoxAdActa, 
Yes, my pfp is also absolutely me.
Nepenthe, I just wanna take this time to say that every time I scroll past one of your comments, I think your icon is cute. I love those games and it makes me happy
wahming, solidly 50% of you look the same.
Let me inflate that statistic a little, as somebody without a profile pic who looks exactly like that
Prej, 
Goddamn copycats.
RegularBard, 
As a beardy glasses guy, why WOULD I put my face on a profile picture? I already fade into the background IRL at least here I can be interesting
ivanafterall,

muzzle, 
Do you reckon my pi counts?
CIWS-30, It's cloning. Canadian cloning. Like Ryan George and all his clone who run the entertainment industry in Canada. Producer, director, writer, sound guy, intern, etc.
In fact... you're all probably clones of Ryan George. Check to see if you're a Canadian named Ryan. Tons of you guys out there.
