sending any reasonably sized jpeg as base64 text will take you several minutes with typical server flood protection

  You could chunk it, compress it with gzip. Usenet uses yENC. Public servers sure, may have protections in place but your own server and with IRCd's being easy configurable makes it non-trivial.

    And this is somehow better than a "gimmicky" service which handles images natively? Interesting.

      Yes, because you don't need to fork $$$ to enable the basic "native" features. Not forgetting the advertising, having your data mined and any other miscreant features that they decide to implement. You buy Nitro within discord and you still have advertisements.
