    I wonder if this is to circumvent automatic blocks? They started including the text in the image for similar reasons.

        No, I just remember seeing posts in Lemmy admin spaces about DB migrations used to block the text, not sure where.

          Yeah I can see blocking text, but you are saying the new images are possibly to avoiding blocks. Which would require some image comparison / computer vision based detection, which I would be interested to read about if it existed.

            It was a guess. I know pictrs has some functionality for that to block CP being uploaded to Lemmy instances, maybe look at the repo, that should have some info :)
