@pixelfed I have one question I don't see to find the answer for: Am I allowed to, or isn't it rude, or could it even be supported that I link to a specific image of a post instead of the post, actualyl to use it in a, say, #writefreely article as image link?
#WriteFreely @pixelfed

@dansup Apart from the question above (can/should I link images to include in posts) is there any reason not to support WebP as it'd be 1/5th the size with no visible quality loss? #pixelfed

I see no point using Webp anymore, now that we have #Avif

That was a bad joke. #HEIF and #AV1 is patented to hell and beyond, nobody in their sane mind would use it for anything but for a bad example.
#WebP is free of patent trolls and copyright claims.
And the next one will be, possibly, #JPEG-XL, which is/will be also free of patents.

#AVIF is open source. Patent free.

AVIF uses AV1, which is covered by 1000+ patents (mainly from Sisvel and Nokia).
