Some people seem to think that having your own face as your profile pic is the only thing that makes you "trustworthy".
I'm not about to share my real face online where anyone can take that info and harass me. Sorry/not sorry.
If you don't find me trustworthy, simply because I refuse to show my face, even after 2 years of advocating for Fedi every single day with factual information and helping new people, then that's YOUR problem.
If you want to lend me a face that wouldn't end up with me getting harassed, feel free to do so. Till then, I will BeAware.
