   A lot of blind people don't use profile pictures. If you see a profile without a picture, that doesn't mean it's a spammer.

   If you want to check whether an account is genuine, the best method is to read their profile text and pinned posts.

     @feditips
     I don't have any personal pictures. I think I have some PTS from the being a target during the trump/NRA/russian influencers years
     I miss the somewhat innocent years of social media when it was mostly social
     I am hoping for a turn around

     @feditips I'd just like to go on record as saying my picture is indeed me. My hair is usually standing up in a mess and I'm usually screaming at my hooman, so I chose a picture to give the best representation of my usual self. I just let the hooman use my account to post things because I honestly don't want to hear it. If she doesn't talk to y'all, she'll talk to me and no one wants that.

     @feditips It's true, I'm not using one. Although I might eventually. I do have one.
