一“mo”做事亿“mo”当！你加入“momo大军”了吗？

你知道这样一个神秘组织吗？他们无处不在、无所不言，活跃于各大社交平台，他们的头像昵称整齐划一，圆圆的粉色小恐龙，配上一个共同的名字：“momo”。

那么，“momo”到底是谁？“momo大军”又是如何形成的呢？

最初，“momo”这一昵称和头像是新用户注册账号后自动生成的默认信息，如今，越来越多的网友换上了粉色小恐龙的头像，并把昵称改为“momo”，正式加入“momo大军”。

Originally, the nickname and avatar for "momo" were generated automatically as default settings after new users registered their accounts. Now, increasing number of netizens have opted to change their avatars to a pink little dinosaur and rename themselves as "momo."

那么，为什么越来越多的人选择使用默认头像和昵称了呢？

一方面是出于个人隐私的考虑。互联网时代，很多人不希望自己的冲浪足迹轻易被现实世界中的熟人发现，于是通过加入“momo大军”的方式穿上“隐身衣”。

On the one hand, this decision is based on personal privacy considerations. Many people do not want their browsing history to be easily discovered by acquaintances in the real world, so they choose to wear a "cloak of invisibility" and join the "momo army."

另一方面，换上“momo套装”之后，有了集体掩护的身份，极大地减轻了人们的社交压力，从而能够更为自由地在互联网上发言，实现一“mo”做事亿“mo”当。

On the other hand, adopting the "momo" avatar provides people with a collective identity, which reduces social pressure and enables them to speak more freely online. In this way, people are able to enjoy the benefits of online communication and social support without fear of judgment or scrutiny.

海外也流行默认头像

不光是国内，在习惯于使用个人照片作为账户头像的国外，也兴起了一股使用默认头像（default PFP）的潮流。

据Asia Media Journal报道，最近默认用户头像变得越来越受欢迎。这类头像出现了有一段时间了，但近期流行起来，默认头像的图片有着不同的样式。

Default PFP (Profile Pictures) have become very popular in recent times. They have been around for a while, but have gained popularity in recent times. These images are available in various styles and designs.

文章称，Instagram上的默认头像或许是最佳头像类型。对于那些还没什么想法的人来说，这一默认图像只显示一个人的轮廓。

Default PFP Instagram pictures are probably the best type of profile photos you can get. For those who don’t have an idea, the default image is a copy of the profile photo window without a profile picture. It features just the profile photo outline of a person.

默认头像一定程度上会造成困扰，尤其是在社交媒体平台上。所以，很多人注册后会更换自己的账户信息。然而，并非所有人都这样想，这也是当下默认头像再度流行的原因之一。

人们发现相比于使用真实照片，默认头像要安全得多。所以建议用户先使用默认头像，经过一段时间的安全性评估后再进行修改。

People find it a lot more secure to use rather than using their actual image. One thing we’d recommend you do is to take the default PFP and elevate it to the next level. That should sort out a lot of your problems further.

选择放弃个性化头像昵称而“跃入人海”，是互联网时代人们生存的一种智慧也是自由权利。

然而，无论是出于何种缘由，并非变成“momo”就可以为所欲为，自由应有边界，只有守护好底线，做一个“好momo”，才能真正获得“隐身”带来的安全感。
