My account was suspended yesterday for some mysterious reason but after an hour I was back in CoSo, it might have been because of the maga troll I reported, I lost all the people I follow and my content, I started following people yesterday and I will continue for a couple of days , I canβt get my content back but that is not a problem, I just want to stay connected to the people I trust .
@QueenOfEverything you are right, I might change the original one right now , I like it better.!!
@QueenOfEverything yes , the icons are my guide too , I changed it back .
I'm happy to hear that it's just not me! I get very disoriented when people change their avatars. I mean, I get it that people like to change things up. But I agree, if the avatar doesn't match the persona, then I am totally lost!
It's one of my guiltiest #FirstWorldProblems ! π
Same thing here! But I am learning to adjust and just go with the flow. It's a form of self expression that isn't harming anyone! π€
Self expression is important... but social media friends should tell friends if their image freaks them out.
i did say i could live with it until halloween... isn't that enough time to self express? π
@QueenOfEverything
Oh, absolutely! That is why I will make the adjustment to someone changing their avatar. I hear you about being honest with one's social media friends if their image is unnerving. I get it.
Yes, you did say that you could live with it until Halloween! Plenty of generous time for self expression! π
@Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything @Jorro
I changed mine once and got DMs about it until I changed it back, LOL!
@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @Jorro
oh my, i suppose that would have been the polite, tactful way to confess that i HATED AN ICON!
just never know the civilized thing to do!
Oh, goodness! I wouldn't have the heart to take it that far! π Live and let live. I'll adjust or at least try to adjust!

** in my defense, i did TRY. @Jorro is a friend and i look forward to his posts. but he's a cool lion not a scary creepy zombie with something brown like regurgitated brains in front of him.
i lasted a couple weeks before caving in.
You obviously did try by giving it a couple of weeks before saying anything! I totally get it about the creepy zombie freaking you out! I was kind of freaked out myself by it and tried to look past it, but it definitely was challenging! π€£
@Cosmichomicide @Jorro
@Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything @Cosmichomicide my wife doesnβt like it either !! π€£π€£
@Jorro @Spagesgallo1 @Cosmichomicide
Always listen to your wife!

I thought it was kinda funny that my indelible brand is basically Destroyer of Planets. π€£
@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @Jorro
my indelible brand is the head of the Liberty Statue sleeping in the grass in Prague.
it's soooooo me.
@QueenOfEverything @Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 I donβt take it personally, Iβm used to that avatar , I use the other one of my Mastodon accounts but I prefer this one better , I think it is ok to tell friends if there is something you donβt like . For me it is difficult to identify someone if they change it , Iβm a very visual person and I think that happens to many people, it wasnβt difficult to change it back .
@Jorro @QueenOfEverything @Spagesgallo1
Yeah, that's how I took it as well. π
@Cosmichomicide @QueenOfEverything @Spagesgallo1 yes, and that is something that happens only here in #coso , we donβt get mad over minor issues.
@Jorro
Like you, I am also a very visual type of person. That is why I get discombobulated when someone changes their avatar to something that I might not associate with that person. But I make the adjustment with time. I actually like how creative people are with their avatars. Something I sadly lack since I don't know how to create some of the avatars that I have seen. As for telling someone that I don't like the avatar, I don't feel comfortable doing it
@Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything @Cosmichomicide there is never a problem with me , not for that .
@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything I started following you again , Iβm still missing some of my friends but Iβm getting there .
@Cosmichomicide
Really? I wouldn't have thought that. I'm more fairy dust, unicorns and rainbows! π€£ Just kidding! But I do love nature and animals!
@Jorro
YES! It's weird, but I get used to the icons on here.. changing icons is fine... but if they seem anti-icon to the persona... it's disorienting.
