Thinking out loud: We have a nice way to stick an "icon" to www.acme.com by exposing a well defined file on a well defined URL `/favicon.ico` (or similar).

Would there be an option to do the same for [email protected] email?

Don't think anything _exists_, but in principle, where this _should_ be put?

@MichalBryxi isn’t this essentially what gravatar is for - essentially a clearing house of icons tied to email addresses (originally used for Wordpress) - https://gravatar.com

@mrzarquon Dang me. Wanted to add "no #gravatar please" in my toot 😬

While it works (mostly, I have some bug issues with the service). I dislike the idea of this being "centrally owned".

But you're right that it is *a* solution to my itch, thanks.

@MichalBryxi yeah, it’s not great, but the other option is look into the GPG web key directory as an alternative, using .well-known dir pattern for distributing gpg pub keys:
