  There’s this pleroma instance and this github project.

  I’ve thought about it before. The thing is with all the images getting loaded so much it would get expensive quick.

    I think the bots and scammers would be a much bigger problem

      And wait til you see the pool of actual candidates.

      Easy solution: date the bots and scammers!

      I think those could be dealt with, but just the sheer bandwidth of someone loading 3-10 images per profile and then rapidly flicking through them and onto the next one…

      The storage costs would be one thing, but the bandwidth of that would be another entirely.

      As much as I’d like to think that people would donate, I’ve found the majority of people to be pretty cheap and unwilling to donate money for something they can get for free.

    Yet Lemmy exists right now with videos and everything

      I think most major instances only allow linking to videos and won’t allow you to directly upload it.
