I updated my site to use the Libravatar CDN for avatars. If one isn't found, it will still fallback to Gravatar, so it should be seamless for commenters. I also updated the default icon to identicons, so people without avatars will get a nifty geometric image instead of the anonymous silhouette.
My privacy policy is updated with this information too.

"text": "Based on some conversations after my last post, there was some curiosity about how I personally end up using RSS and what seems to work for me.\n\n\n\nStart with an RSS reader that feels good to you. It\u2019s not one size fits all, you may want a different experience than me. A lot of them are free (and most of the rest at least have a free trial) so there\u2019s no harm in trying a few out. I\u2019ve been using Vienna (which just celebrated 20 years of development).\n\n\n\nThen start figuring out which sites or content you want coming your way. You can start with blogs you already read, and can see if any of the newsletters you\u2019re part of might feel better as a feed. Then let it accumulate and keep adding as you bump into stuff around the internet.\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s better to let your subscribed feeds build up naturally than it is to dive right into a firehose. Personally I don\u2019t like leaving things unread, so I try to find a sweet spot where if I\u2019m reading daily, it feels manageable in a reasonable amount of time.\n\n\n\nWhile things come in chronologically, you don\u2019t have to read them chronologically. There are some days where I\u2019m just not in the mood for a longer, deeper post. It\u2019s okay to punt and read those later.\n\n\n\nMost people aren\u2019t particularly prolific, so it\u2019s generally fine to have more feeds than you\u2019d otherwise expect.\n\n\n\nThat said, some folks ARE high volume. Like, Wil Wheaton posts regularly on his Tumblr. But they tend to be quick pithy things or sharing a quick picture or meme, so it\u2019s like a quick palate cleanse to quickly scan through them. But when I got busy and didn\u2019t read my feeds for a week, and I came back to 197 unread posts, I didn\u2019t feel bad about just marking the entire feed as read. If I really want, I can always go back and read them later.\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s your own personal feed collection. Don\u2019t feel obligated to keep subscribed if you\u2019re not enjoying the content. Especially if they tend to be high frequency, long content. If there\u2019s not a compelling reason (the writing is exceptional, I know them personally and want to keep up with them, the topics they cover are interesting enough that it\u2019s worth the slog), I just unsubscribe. I tend to keep the feed around, just disabled, in case I want to revisit it later.\n\n\n\nFind a consistent time to go through your feeds. Some folks are morning readers. I tend to go through my feeds after work as sort of a wind-down. The point is to find a routine that works for you, as RSS works best (in my opinion) when it\u2019s built into your day rather than an occasional afterthought. (Looping back to Molly\u2019s newspaper metaphor, a newspaper works best when read daily, rather than letting a week or two build up to slog through all at once.)\nOf course, your mileage may vary. RSS is a protocol and a tool, not a methodology or system \u2013 find what works best for you. Hope that helps!",
