## Popis

Locally mirrors commenters‘ Gravatar, Libravatar and Mastodon avatars and serves
them from your site, rather than loading them from a third-party web site upon each
page load.

This has several effects:

 * If most of the comments on a post have no avatar, those turn into _one_ load 
   of a shared image, instead of one for each comment, that happens to return the
   same „mystery“ image.
 * You will be serving more (small) images.
 * If a commenter’s URL looks like a link to a Mastodon / ActivityPub profile, their
   Mastodon account’s avatar will be displayed.
 * When commenting, a live preview of the avatar tracks the contents of the „Email“
   field.
 * [gravatar.com](https://www.gravatar.com/) and [libravatar.org](https://www.libravatar.org/)
   no longer have a web-bug on your blog that is loaded by each viewer. Instead 
   of being loaded at every page view, the avatar is loaded just once, on the server-
   side, at the time each new comment is posted.
 * If someone changes or deletes their avatar, your site continues displaying the
   image that was their avatar at the time that they last posted.
 * Likewise, the user’s Gravatar or Mastodon profile is saved along with their comment,
   viewable by admins even if they later change or delete it.

### Security and Privacy

 * [Libravatar](https://www.libravatar.org/) is open source. Gravatar is [owned by WordPress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravatar),
   and their [privacy policy](https://automattic.com/privacy/) says that they don’t
   monetize that info. But hey, corporate policies change, subpoenas exist, and 
   domain names get sold.
 * Should you trust Gravatar with user data? Well, in 2024, Gravatar announced that
   they are [pivoting to blockchain](https://jwz.org/b/ykXF), whatever that means,
   so that’s fairly disqualifying. See also [WordPress „growth hacking“](https://jwz.org/b/ykPk)
   and [WordPress sells users‘ data to train AI tools](https://jwz.org/b/ykNg).
 * There used to be a potential issue due to [Gravatars using MD5 hashes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravatar#Security_concerns_and_data_breaches),
   but these days they use SHA256, so I assume that’s no longer a problem.

a little bit.
