tbf most of them aren't even that big data wise, like that one above was like 200kB. they just render huge, which will be addressed when the devs aren't fried from working all weekend to get this thing fast and stable (knock on wood)
I might open an issue or try to throw together a PR to just have the inline images be a user setting. They're just rendered markdown.
I think the only issue is that emotes are now being handled through markdown and pictrs so there'd have to be a way to limit that.
Also inline images is a big no no. Spamming posts is one thing, but now a malicious user could spam terrible images in comment chains that take up your full screen and can't be NSFW filtered.
There is some unique risks to allowing inline images, yeah. but I'm deferring to the people with moderation experience on this one. if they want it gone it will be gone.
and we already limit inline images to only whitelisted domains so it's definitely possible to filter things.
This will all be worked out in time, is been really cool seeing everyone so active again. It feels like the site is coming back to life a bit as we're figuring out all the new stuff. Also seems like we woke up some people with programming experience that can maybe help out which would be nice.
I agree about the preview, you should have to opt in before someone can consume a ton of your data like that. Make it the size of an emote.
Oh I didn't even think about that. Yeah, it'll add up over the month if people are spamming giant gifs.
