We push for decentralization, thus we shouldn't rely over Gravatar.

Seems simple enough 👍

@yarmo please test with various e-mails. When I did OpenPGP proofs years ago I also evaluated libravatar but the performance characteristics were sub-par. (Sometimes libravatar servers timeouted or took long time to reply). If this is federated with no single point of failure then it's double-cool!

Looks good, will test today.

Tested today, works great.

  • Avatars take slightly longer to load than was the case gravatar but this IMO does not outweigh the benefits of using a "federatable" and FOSS solution,
  • I did not test the federation aspect but trust that the libravatar library will handle it just fine.

With that, PR is merged. Thanks @ilpianista for a great contribution!
