For some reason sometimes phone pictures are way oversized so the only way to properly send or upload them is to reduce the resolution drastically.

Also we allowed the same guys who made YouTube compression design the image format that Lemmy instances use.

Properly resized images should not have noticeable artifacts, and by properly I mean resized to the target size.

This one looks like it was downscaled too far and then upscaled again. The write in text is so clear I'm sure it is photoshopped.

Nice catch, they probably found a random image online and blew it up for the edit.
