Many blind people on the Fediverse don't have profile pictures, because they use the internet through non-visual audio interfaces. So, if you see an account with a blank profile image, don't assume it's a bad account.
The most reliable way to check if an account is good is to see what text is written on its profile page, and what kind of posts are in its profile timeline.
