Disabling Gravatar for User Profile Avatars

How do I prevent gravatar from being used for user profile avatars? We do not want to see gravatar images, and we do not want to set $avatar for our user profiles.

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide explicit information on how to prevent Gravatar from being used for user profile avatars in Mixpanel if you do not set the $avatar property. The documentation only states that setting the $avatar property will override a profile picture pulled from Gravatar, but it does not mention how to disable Gravatar entirely or what happens if $avatar is not set at all. Therefore, I cannot provide a definitive answer based on the available documentation Reserved Properties.

kapa.ai What should be provided as a value for $avatar if we want to prevent Gravatar images and have no image to provide?

The knowledge sources do not specify what value, if any, should be provided for the $avatar property to explicitly prevent Gravatar images when you have no image to provide. The documentation only states that setting $avatar will override a profile picture pulled from Gravatar, but does not mention what happens if $avatar is set to null, an empty string, or another placeholder value. There is no guidance on how to disable Gravatar entirely if you do not want to provide an avatar image Reserved Properties.I'm sorry, but there's no information in the knowledge sources about how to achieve this scenario.
