Users often join timeline rooms without profiles set.

The one bug that seems to crop up for me is that when linking timelines, it's quite likely for ghost users to join the room without avatars or display names

This shows the member list in Riot of a room that has been provisioned three timeline links: @cnn, @bbcnews and @nasa. I did the provisioning and then left the bridge running for a couple of hours.

On further investigation, this just affects retweets. When a linked timeline does a retweet, one of these "blank" users gets created.

I've made it so that profiles are waited on before we send tweets. Obviously this will slow things down a bit, but it will stop the rather rubbish looking user profiles. #44
