Updated: fixed "Add filter" setting being greyed out for some people!
People clearly need this right now and I have discovered it to be pretty easy!

On PC (Requires uBlock Origin/Adnauseam)
The only major browser this doesn't work on is Safari, if you wish to browse SpaceHey without profile pictures, please try a different browser, sorry!
Step 1: if you do not have a compatible adblocker (uBlock origin or Adnauseam) then install one! uBlock Origin works better if you are on Chrome/Opera/Edge.
Step 2: Find your extension at the top right of your browser, click it, and open settings.

Step 3: Locate "My filters"
Step 4: Paste in the following:
spacehey.com##.profile-pic
spacehey.com##.pfp-fallback
spacehey.com##.pfp-fallback

Your window should look like this.
Once you click "Apply changes" you should be all set and all the profile pictures will disappear.
On Phone (Requires Firefox)
I am doing this on Android, please let me know how this goes for you if you have iPhone.
Step 1: If you use a different browser you will probably need to switch to Firefox.
Step 2: Open the menu and tap "Add-ons"

Step 3: Install "uBlock Origin" if you haven't already. It should be one of the top options. Once it's installed, tap on it.

Step 4: Tap "Settings"

Step 5: Scroll to the right and find the "My filters" tab

Step 6: Paste the following into the box and tap the tick:
spacehey.com##.profile-pic
spacehey.com##.pfp-fallback
spacehey.com##.pfp-fallback

Once your screen looks like this you shouldn't see profile pictures anymore!

Sorry to ask, does uBlock origin work with Safari? Just asking before I install
I recall having trouble with it on safari in the past, but I don't have a Mac to test it on now, sorry!
