I've noticed any time I try to share a picture with your instance it is filtered and replaced with *removed externally hosted image*. Seems a fairly stifling design choice, if federation is gonna be successful. Why won't you let me love you?

I guess upload to imgur and hyperlink for now?

I appreciate the suggestion. However imgur is gonna try to scrape 10x the info from anyone that visits that link, than allowing an inline image from my home instance. And I can't be that monster.
