Libravatar is a protocol specification for fetching avatar images for E-Mail addresses and OpenIDs in a decentralized way.
It is also an open source service to host a profile photo (avatar) for e-mail addresses and OpenIDs. The photos can then automatically be displayed on your posts and comments on any website that supports it.
In contrast to Gravatar, which is a centralized service, libravatar is decentralized - everyone can host his own avatar server. Multiple server implementations are available.

Unfollow is the opposite action of following someone, typically on a silo, commonly implemented on asymmetric follow silos such as Instagram, Google+, initially pioneered by delicious, Flickr, and Upcoming, but most greatly popularized by Twitter in contrast to the mutual friending model from explicitly "social" silos from Friendster to Facebook.
There are no known indieweb examples of an "unfollow" feature.
Examples of silos that implement an "unfollow" feature in their user interface, along with some differences.

The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’.
| Your content is yours When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control. | |
| You are better connected Your articles and status messages can go to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place. | |
| You are in control You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work. |
The IndieWeb effort is different from previous efforts/communities:
Perhaps most importantly, we are people-focused instead of project-focused, and have regular meetups where everyone is welcome:

Homebrew Website Club is a biweekly meetup of people passionate about or interested in creating, improving, building, designing their own website, in the same structure as the Homebrew Computer Club meetings. [1]
We meet every other Wednesday* right after work, 18:30-19:30, across cities and online.
The next Homebrew Website Club meetup is:

Charles Stanhope is a hardware/software engineer with an interest in open, decentralized platforms. He thinks the internet and the web are amazing inventions that humanity has barely begun to figure out how to best use. He believes that for the internet and web to continue to be a tool for good will require that individuals and groups can be sovereign participants. He is trying to do his part to make that happen. Charles thinks writing about himself in the third person is awkward.

A birthday is the date when someone is born, however in the context of the indieweb, it is a feature displayed on some silos' user profiles that you can (or must) enter, and some prominently present to your friends on the month and day of your birthday, like Facebook's "BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK" feature at the top of their events page.
