Loved the avatars update. Did a bunch of generating and got a very unusual pretty deer. Selected it as my avatar and chatted a bit with it. Like 2 days later went to glass’s gen to say something and someone had been saying stuff while wearing my deer avatar. You can imagine my surprise. OwO It IS an unusually nice deer pic and it’s ok they use it, but it didn’t feel 100% good that it uncontrollably became their avatar. Like generate generate generate for an hour, finally get a most unusual pretty avatar, and then someone else snags it so it’s their new avatar. Had definitely not been my intent. Anyway, I am not sure of what u could do. tho now I am much more wary and realize ‘setting an avatar’ is effectively gifting it to anyone that wants it and just like sending an image to public gallery.
Anyway, was an interesting and not 100% good thing that happened with the avatars update so mentioning it.
You’re just pasting a url to set the avatar, right? You can get the url of any image you see by right-clicking it, so kinda makes sense this would be possible. They could even download the avatar image, upload it somewhere, and use that new url instead.
There’s never in the history of the internet and avatars been a way of stopping someone using the same avatar image as you.
