Does not strip inline images (“tracking pixels”), plus they mess up layout

[mirabilos]

In experiments around Markdown inline images, I found that Semaphore does not strip inline images (that go to a different server than the one the instance is from, although I believe figuring out whether a server is the instance’s normal fileserver or not can be tricky for some).

Furthermore, for an image of nōn-neglegible height, the layout of the interaction buttons below and of the next status will be off, but curiously not always.

Note that the next GotoSocial release will also strip them (just removing the img tag, for now, until better handling (downloading+caching/proxying/…) can be implemented), so for testing use an older version (or another instance software that allows Markdown or HTML inline images).

Pinafore relies on the server to sanitize post HTML. I think the height bug is fixed in enafore (my pinafore fork). You need to add a capturing onload listener that recalculates the post height.
