I'd been maintaining my own Synapse homeserver for years mainly to chat with one friend, who uses the matrix.org server. Images shared between us break on a regular basis, and yes they broke for a bit during the authenticated media changeover but also since then he just periodically doesn't receive images I send.
It happened again last week, I said "fuck it, the devs will just claim it's my fault if I ask for help, let's just take this to Signal". I'll probably shut down my homeserver once I've figured out alternative ways to access the handful of communities I also happen to follow via Matrix. I have no doubt a reply will be forthcoming soon about how that's all a coincidental thing which isn't actually Matrix's fault but I've been reading those replies here for years and the actual situation doesn't improve.
- Arathorn 1y agoI'm not sure where the "devs will claim it's my fault if i ask for help" trope is coming from - we really do want Matrix to work :( Do you have a bug report of where this is happening, on what set of clients? A bunch of people have been reporting images not loading, but I haven't seen anything actionable. Is it possible that this is anti-image-spam protection kicking in?

- Arathorn 1y ago…anti-image-spam protection happens serverside, configured by the room admin. it’s nothing to do with the user’s fault. i’m trying to help fix your problem. can you point me at details so I can investigate?
