That makes sense. But I guess there’s these questions: at what resolution? For how long? Maybe the status quo is such because it’s simpler code. The project is still relatively young. I wonder where/how we can discuss these things?
It still adds up fast especially if you run an instance that stores to s3 with a cdn. My mastodon server racked up 1k in cdn usage one month before I switched to local storage no cdn.
They normal don’t render then instantly, though. Caching at least a lower res version should barely be noticable compared to actual image posts.

Probably the same as for other images? I mean, it’s not as if remote images are vastly different from uploaded ones ;)
