    Good for them but copying the bad parts of Instagram like forcing squares, throwing out image metadata (including license), & compressing to hell means it is not the kind of platform I would want to upload my images to.

      Without compression, every instance would have to deal with issues of free space, which is very sensitive when we talk about small servers ran on good will of the people.
