When did you encounter this issue? I know there were some issues yesterday that TheDude fixed. May have been related to that. I would recommend trying again. Otherwise can you share what the size of the image you are trying to upload?
I think in one of the next releases of lemmy users will have the option to block the instances they don’t want to interact with. Given that option comes soon I feel that this will be less of a SJW issue and instead more of a user preference.
This guy really loves cake
