MODERATORS
Even without instance proxy, it should easy enough on the client side to not pull remote images unless directed to do so, similar to most email clients these days. At least it gives people a warning that they're passing data to a 3rd party location.
That's pretty stupid for a platform mainly based on images.
Maybe, but on the flip side though, as an instance owner, I don't nessecarily want my node to be in the logs acessing questionable content on behalf of the end user.
That's why it isn't done this way I guess
And because it's more resource efficient.
