    I would just turn off media uploads entirely. It’s not worth the risk or disk space.

      I would just turn off media uploads entirely.

      Do you mean also disabling thumbnails? IIUC, pict-rs handles all thumbnail generation [1]. The reason I point this out is that simply disabling image uploads won’t itself stop the generation of thumbnails [2]. There’s also the question of storing/caching images that come from federated servers.
