I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.

What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
