Everything is blocky and sharp and weird. I want the old comfy hexbear
I profoundly dislike the images in comments. Scrolling down and finding an animu picture covering the whole screen is jarring.
If they had like a 64x64px preview that you could open if you wanted to thatd be fine but having like 1080p gifs pop up is too much. And some wrecker is going to use it to post something horrible sooner or later.
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.
Easily my least favorite change. Everything else I can see myself getting used to.
Sadly it is necessary right now for emotes. Our old system would break federation so we had to switch to using pictrs instead of our custom renderer. Basically all emotes are now just online images that are made to be small.
@layla@hexbear.net and @PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net’s original proposal was to have a new database entry for emotes, but Dessalines and Nutomic preferred to use the pictrs solution created by @makotech222@hexbear.net.
Not sure if there will be a way to filter the inline functionality from the emote functionality though. You’ll have to ask one of those devs.
We have a nice hook for images that are inline but not emojis, so we just need to decide what we want to do.
