Logs or notes

I created my own plugin to generate avatars locally, which uses the get_avatar filter. It returns an img tag, with a data:image as source. This works well in WordPress itself, and also worked fine in ActivityPub version 0.17.0, so something must have changed in 1.0.0 which breaks the compatibility.

I found a setting on /wp-admin/options-discussion.php called Local Avatars Only and if I checked that, the logo will be also used for ActivityPub.
