Notices

There really ought to be a way to check avatars though so we can iron this shit out. I kind of shelved it before because only mastodon was having issues and I'm not cleaning up Eugen's messes anymore.
But if it's affecting other places I can take a look.

@archaeme Bonus weirdness: I see the correct avatar in the popup thing when I mouseover your name, but not the TL

@gameragodzilla *mastadon't.

@archaeme Not really. It doesn't federate them at all. It just doesn't matter internally to mastodon because it's grabbing the images remotely.
This is probably a bad idea for a few reasons, not the least of which is you'll break SSL security if the instance is HTTP and yours is HTTPS
-
@archaeme That said, I'm pretty sure the XML stanza for notices includes a URL to the avatar, I'd have to check. If it does, we could just test for it having changed with each notice, from the last known one, and if it has, then grab it. As long as the avatar image has a hash on it then this should be sufficient.

@gameragodzilla I actually hadn't considered that. I don't think so, but that's an interesting food for thought.
