  Oh shit, my bad. Was reading too fast.

    Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.

    Some instances use the image proxy and others don’t. It seems that mine doesn’t.
