Itโs 2023 man. Nobody wants a little pixelated pfp ๐๐
Discussion
It is now t, your phone literally downloads and discards all your pixels and only costs people in mobile charges and doesnโt add to the visuals at all. Why people donโt understand this ๐ถ๐พ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
No, a pixelated pfp looks awful when you enlarge it. You never tap on peopleโs pics to enlarge them?
Here is the full size, do as you will ๐ถ๐พ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ 
๐ญ๐คฃ As a dev is the issue for you resolution (pixels) or file size?
Both. Itโs a waste of the money that people pay for their time and bandwidth ๐ถ๐พ๐ญ
Hmm, well still I donโt want a pixelated profile pic. Seems like clients should do a better job handling this and thatโs no my problem. Display a lower quality version by default and only load a higher quality version if you tap on it to view it larger. Expecting people to be okay with low quality photos seems silly.
Itโs not. Itโs in your mind. As I said, 400px gives you about an inch on a high res display (phone). Most people probably use 100-200px per inch on a monitor. You can check by right click on pfp in chrome and inspect. If you see pixelated images, itโs because someone didnโt do a good job sharpening for a screen. Client cannot โaskโ for lower res, unless they have agreed upon protocol. If you want decentralized hosting, it means itโll not happen. 400px is the best compromise for 1% viewing at oversized resolution, where it will be downsized to 200px for enlarged view for 2-3% of viewing and down to 50px for 96% or more. So people using oversized PFPs are not doing anyone any good. Nobody complaining about twitter PFPs that are even smaller ๐ถ๐พ๐ซก
Is this censorship? I look at nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 's PFP and can't see a single kernel. Just a yellow blob.
Think like a user, not a dev ๐๐ซ
I do, thatโs why I say no more than 400x400 (and thatโs already overkill) best retina is one inch for this many pixels ๐ถ๐พ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
