But is the whole thing a bit pretentious? Will it let me chat to the people I want to chat to? Maybe not very friendly?

Does thinking about this matter? I'll care a bit if people respond telling me I'm a overly intellectual wanker, but at the end of the day who cares if I fucked this up. First attempt, and the guidelines of the marketing & aesthetic worlds are opaque to me right now

I really love your bio! I think your avi is a little less-inviting, aesthetically; my hunch is anthropomorphic or near-anthropomorphic images do best for generating intuitive connection. Welcome btw--have fun

I'll take the other side of that...I appreciate when a bio or avi is amusing but being inviting is not a big consideration (accounts that play at being disagreeable/superior, though...eh). Yours says you 'here to sincere' not shitpost/troll; if that's true, we know what to expect

Lol...it was originally meant as a visual pun on a solar disc and something that naturally emerges from, but could not be predicted from the existence of a gas fusing ball. But also a friendly familiar flower, since I'm pretty nice all in all.
