For those who may not know it yet, libravatar is decentralized and
federated alternative to gravatar. It has a few free software
implementations (including the one used on the main public instance) and
one can host their own instance or use a public one. We should encourage
the use of such services rather than centralized ones based on non free
software.

It’s worth noting that Damned lies already supports libravatar.

Forgot to mention: The obvious upside of Gravatar is that seems to be used
by lot of people, and those are probably okay with using it. Having faces
in GitLab is nice so people see something more than just nicknames, it
feels more human and welcoming.

On the other hand, if changing to libravatar is well supported by us and we
start using it it looks like an easy win-win for privacy-aware tools and
people.

[GitLab] Gravatar vs libravatar

[Carlos Soriano]

Hello all,

There is a request to replace Gravatar  by
libravatar  on our GitLab instance. Both are
supported in GitLab.

The reasoning to replace it is that Gravatar seems to have privacy issues
. So I would like to know if we should replace it
with libravatar or keep using Gravatar.

If you agree, please upvote on the issue
, if not,
downvote. Apologies for the poll, not sure a better way to do it for this
since both options look quite balanced to me.

If you have any other comment, feel free to provide it here or in the issue.

Have a good day everyone!
