minds#4627 (closed)

Summary of Changes

Fix a race condition with the default avatar generation system, wherein on the first channel load if multiple posts are made rapidly (e.g. through RSS sync), non-determinism in the default avatar generation function leads to multiple overlapping requests generating different avatars.

This fix uses a similar approach to banner generation, doing $userGuid % count($arr) to generate deterministically.

Testing Considerations

Note: front#6159

• For new channels, the avatar color should be consistent.
