Mastodon Filesize Bloat - Pasted Pictures = Big #PNG Filesize for all #Fediverse 


/

2.7MB PNG FILE (from copy and paste process of images... files as pasted output are massive frequently).

OF BIG 2.7MB PNG FILE HERE:
mastodon.social/@RubyGold/1143

Same but PNG as a pasted version = FILE

2mb more than original picture as drag/drop for example...

So copy and paste costs the Fediverse a whole lot more and actually takes time to download (ever wonder while it crawls some pictures?)!

TONS OF BANDWIDTH AND STORAGE / DOWNLOAD / CACHE just to see few hundred KB pic for what was 1 small JPG!

is useful and PNG I understand cleans data (doesn't store it) but surely a could do the same (there might be more reasons but I don't see them)...
