i stole this from someone else tbh. But, I think the last time I previously tried to upload a webp that didn't work it was on here prior to the update. Do .heic files work here too now? That was my other major impediment.

My dude, it's a serious impediment. Upload forms don't accept it. Lots of OSes can't open it. Confuses the normies who have no idea what it is. It's a real bad idea the moment you get even a little bit out of the realm of people who only think about webdev all day.

It is an actual impediment.

Cool. How is that easier than just right-clicking and using Save Image As...?

Great, so a bullshit extra time-wasting step.

As is your right. :) That being said, webp will discard user data by throwing out the higher bitdepth information they upload to Bluesky, whereas the other formats will not. Those users will only notice that their photos look washed-out and dark on Bluesky, whereas they look fine on other platforms.

And yet it's a good thing that would be good to add

… it doesn't mean it can view all WebP images. If the encoding used was the latest, it might fail in Android versions and software that still have no support for those changes. And again we go back to, us pro-WebP are mostly living on the edge. We like the latest and forget that we're actually …

So its been 3 weeks, how'd this turn out

Yay! Thank you. It can be so frustrating.
