It’s the same as any other image, but it’s a .avif file. Looks like they convert uploads to that, probably to save space, and the UI doesn’t currently treat them as embedable

Probably depends on the UI you’re using. I’m on Thunder mobile posting this comment and I see the image fine.

My guess it’s to deal with some cloudfare-based breakage.

From what I can tell it started in the last year. Shit annoys me so much I’ve just stopped posting. My dumb ass shouldn’t have signed up for a lemmy instance with a “.zip” extension anyway…

Vaguely lamenting spending 5000ish bitcoin sending people pies on r/randomActsOfPizza. Good time tho, made some people’s days and that pizza place is fuckin’ loaded now so there’s that.

Just stick to bitcoin, monero, and ethereum.

Crypto transactions have never been more “secure” than wire transfers with 2FA.

And scams and gamblers are useful for covering for secure transactions
