No, not "basic" stuff at all. It's not only "allowed", federation works exactly by replicating all the activities from the remote servers and even the images you share. If you don't believe it, just go ahead and see what happens when you repost a message from someone's server. The repost will come from your server, not the original creator. Or try deleting a conversation on your server and notice how the other instances will still keep everything intact.
Also, what would be the problem if you put content on your server and someone downloads it and holds a copy? No one is redistributing your content trying to pass it as their own. Attribution is still preserved. What is the copyright violation here?

The original post itself is served to viewers by their instance, which is redistribution. (To do otherwise would actually be a massive privacy - and security - concern.) (To be clear, media - but not the post itself - can be requested directly from the original instance, but any reputable instance will be running a proxy so that random strangers can't trivially get your IP address...)
