Maybe it’s because that they don’t want a dependency on a external service that could go down ?

[StreamBright]

So you have an internal dependency that could go down?

It's better when you can do something about it.

[StreamBright]

It depends.

It's images... seems like a very low risk situation, especially when they are served from a CDN.

As a user, the order of importance for Discord services is:

* Voice

* Text

* Previews (images, gifs, and videos)

Previews going down would be a pretty big deal for my communities based on the way we use the platform.

It’s just resizing, you still have the source images and can use those.
