Description

Even if user sets in Settings, e.g. Profile picture visibility to Local (Only visible to local users), in Social page for that user image is still shown to everybody.

Expected scenario would be:

  • if selected Public, picture is shown to everybody;
  • if selected Contacts, picture shown to followers (local or federated servers);
  • if selected Local, only visible to local users and hidden from anyone else.
