 > Thanks for the clarification, @siliconforks . I didn't know that. Where
 can I find this setting?

 All the avatar-related settings are under Settings → Discussion.  The
 "Show Avatars" checkbox can be used to turn avatars off entirely; the
 "Default Avatar" setting can be used to customize what sort of avatar is
 shown for users without their own avatar.  See the above screenshot.

 > "users without a custom avatar will get a default avatar"
 > In terms of having a generic avatar, this is completely fine. It's the
 same use case when a site doesn't have a site icon, right?

 If the "Howdy, <UserName>" text is removed, there may be no indication of
 who the current logged-in user is.
