#Privytar

Privytar is a super simple privacy and caching reverse proxy for the Gravatar service written in Go. It sits in front of the Gravatar—which is a service that allows you to have a single avatar image that follows you from site to site—, so Automattic (the company that owns Gravatar) can't track you.

Inspired by projects like Nitter, Invidious, and Scribe, Privytar is easy to use, deploy, and should be pretty reliable. Use the official instance TBD or host the service yourself.
