@soft@normal.style That might be because seemingly every single image on Fedi is a 3MB PNG. Shitposts do not need to be lossless, people!

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @soft@normal.style i try to keep my shitposts under 14kb, however mastodon is guaranteed to inflate them into jpegs 10 times as large and serve them that way because it hates the concept of media formats that are less than 3 decades old

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @soft@normal.style this wouldn’t be a problem if clipboard paste preserved copied image format instead of unconditionally reencoding it as PNG
