So... avatar images.  And also a chance to test out how Hubzilla-to-Mastodon federated polling works.

When I first joined the cybre.space Mastodon instance in 2019 I resisted setting up a profile.  This is kind of a thing with me when joining new platforms, and I'm not sure exactly why.  I think it's partly nostalgia for AOL Instant Messenger, partly a feeling that social media really shouldn't be taken seriously, and partly a pushback against the whole Facebook-style real-names-or-else corporate communications culture.  In any case, it happened.

When I migrated to social.coop, I set up a profile (as mandated by instance policies), but never got around to creating an avatar image that felt right for the account, so I continued with no avatar image.  And now it kind of feels like... a thing.  Like no-avatar-image is part of my identity.

Poll allows multiple responses, and has an expiration date in 100 days.

So, with all of that in mind, if I were to decide to double-down on non-brand branding for avatar images, what do you think I should do?
