@davidrevoy If you're looking for higher image quality, consider chiming in here:

@nafnlaus Thanks, I think the quality is OK even if I can sympathize with the example on the bug report.
Pro of 'low' quality+resize:
- lower stockage
- lower bandwidth
- best for ecology
Con
- sometime jpg artifacts
Anyway, I post all the source, layered and hi-resolution of my art on my blog under a creative commons license ( for reusage , eg. wallpapers, and full resolution ). I consider here only "previews. That's why I'm OK. (and because, ecology 🌱)
@davidrevoy It's actually throwing away quality for no good reason, unfortunately. With proper handling we can compress JPEGs to half the size for a given amount of quality (or double the quality for a given size). And WebP improves that ratio by ~25-30%, and AVIF by ~50%. And then better dedup'ing (image fingerprintting) could cut server resources dramatically further. There's also proposals for a HQ (but less convenient) image option, with lower default size.
