My project #ONI, has quickly become my favourite way to follow media focused fediverse accounts.

It has no fancy features, no carousels, no cool transitions, but it gives me a full page listing of lazily loaded images that I can check out at my heart's content.

The aggressive media caching that Mastodon pushes makes no sense to me, the internet was built on linking to remote content. Do it respectfully, yes, allow your browser and intermediary proxies to do the caching for you, but keep linking... Caching everything locally is a symptom of VC monoculture mentality that infected the fediverse, and in my opinion is misguided.
