CC BY does not tell you to watermark all your works based on it.

You could simply provide attribution via text/hyperlinks.

No

WITH attribution ads left intact

Switch your router on and then switch it off.

That will fix it.

Nope.

😆 No, I won't.

Why not fix up a dull punch line or tidy up a drawings weaknesses?

Too lazy to do that.

Yeah, I agree with your comment here.

Let me put it this way:

If you want the highest quality for normal users, you would go with PNG or SVG.

While if you want the highest savings on space, you would go with something like JPEG or WebP basically.

What I am talking about is how challenging it is to upload PNG or SVG files without conversion.

I support Fediverse admins choosing to convert all the images and videos to a compressed formats for sure. But I always look for the best quality if available.

Oh, embedding a high quality images is becoming challenging.

In fact, I started seeing more and more file/photo hosts automatically convert PNG files to jpeg.

Anyway, I guess there is nothing that can be done about it.

I do.

Ad is something you are forced to see. Hyperlink to author website are just a refrance which is not forced on you.

That is the difference which make one of them acceptable and the other not.

That is what links are for.

Just attach a link to the post and boom. More efficient way of indicating the source.

Why did you upload it in jpg?

Anyway, I wanted to inform you of the other better options like PNG and even SVG.
