    In addition, help out your instance admins by resizing the image if you don’t need it in high resolution.

    Uploading a 250Kb file rather than a 2.5MB one makes a difference when thousands of users are doing it.

      @aleph As an instance admin myself, we are looking into fine-tuning those settings to limit uploads of an x amount in file size. But are we are looking into some thumbnail library to reduce the image sizes indeed.
