What’s more, this composable moderation, along with an open API for clients, allows Bluesky (the company) to adhere to its legal obligations to block content, while allowing Bluesky users to sidestep those blocks

I honestly have my doubts governments will find this acceptable once they pay enough attention to figure out what Bluesky is doing.

The user isn’t even British, so this can’t be because of the OSA: https://xcancel.com/DoubleLane29/status/1951680086031122662

It’s less clear to me if static images get auto compressed on upload. Looks like pictrs implemented this a couple years ago, but I’m not sure if this is automatic behavior or has to be turned on by Lemmy admins.

Non animated images, I’m guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I’m working on verifying this

There does seem to be options in pictrs to compress images by format, I’d assume that having these unset (default) would mean no compression happens. I think the reason there isn’t any complaining about image uploads happening is because, by default, they don’t have constraints applied to them. Only animation (256x256 dimension limit) and video (max 20 MiB file size) have constraints put on them in pictrs by default, though there is a 20 MiB upload limit set in nginx.

Lemmy imposes it’s own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
I’m also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

feddit.uk has its set to 2 every 5 minutes. I think a previous admin set that, but it seems sensible enough.

God knows at this point, both seem active enough with users apparently refusing to use either.

Either because you posted to ml and they’re doing their boycott ml thing, or that we’re consolidating on this comm now: https://feddit.uk/post/32996358.
