Quick note: If you follow me, you probably noticed that I post occasional photos. Unfortunately, the default display behavior on most Mastodon instances and clients crops many images unless you click on them. I hate this, as does every other photographer here, but it's not likely to change any time soon.
You can disable this broken behavior in the Mastodon web interface by unchecking a box under display preferences.
But in any case, please be aware you might not be seeing the whole photo.
@mattblaze It's 2023 and we've been doing this "internet thing" with photos for multiple decades... it boggles the mind how silly behaviors like this image cropping are still (being made) the default and that people are still defending this silliness.
Sorry you're getting harassed by people about this.
Whoa! I didn't read that he was being harassed about it in his post. Did I miss something?!
@mattblaze simply stated a fact that he finds annoying: The default behavior on most clients, and in the main web interface, is to crop posted images rather than shrink them to fit. He never implied that it couldn't be changed, so, I can imagine, it was useful for some to be reminded of that.
