I have no issue with your post itself and discussing this issue it is important to highlight things like this. Thank you for bringing it up, and sorry if I sound mad at you for doing that.
I will point out, the specific thing that bothers me is that the heading
How come this hasn’t been addressed before?
contains an incomplete answer that ignores work that is currently in progress by devs to address. I don’t blame you for not knowing the answer but for including and answering that question when you don’t know the answer. To me it’s reminiscent of Tucker Carlson-style questioning, where some issue is brought up, questions are asked but then the answer is sparsely researched and the viewer is expected to come to some conclusion of who to blame. This specifically is what gets on my nerves.
If you can include where work to rectify the issue had been discussed and is in progress like github issues, discussion throughout Lemmy and other things, I’ll edit my first reply to note my concern is assuaged.
E: Here are some of the relevant issues and discussion:
PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing
