Earlier quoted context omitted.

It should be fairly straightforward to turn this into a browser addon, give users a choice and offload the people behind HN.

Or even easier to make a userscript: https://openuserjs.org/

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name        HN Avatars in 357 bytes
  // @description Annotated avatars on all HN comments.
  // @author      tomxor (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomxor)
  // @namespace   https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30668137
  // @include     https://news.ycombinator.com/item*
  // @include     https://news.ycombinator.com/user*
  // @grant       none
  // @version     1.0.0
  // ==/UserScript==

  [js goes here]

Hah! I got a really cool little icon that looks almost like the cassette tape pirate logo of Piratbyrån back in the day. I have old t-shirts with that logo. MAKE. THIS. PERMANENT! On the functional side, this really helps you see who is who in a long threaded discussion. Your eye is much quicker at following the little color icons than their names.

Perhaps I'm a little fighter jet from an 8-bit arcade?
