When an instance goes down, all of the images on it go with it. there’s going to be a lot from lemm.ee, especially given its size.

That’s credit towards the admins who acted quickly. That’s why you’ll see instances defederate from an instance if their admin is not active and doesn’t take action against illegal content in a reasonable time, because it can quickly get out of hand. Now if content isn’t proxied and is always mirrored, not only will the admin have to defederate from the problem instance, but they will have to go and clean up whatever was copied on their instance as well.
i hope you dont think thats the only reason for defederation.
I never said that was the only reason. We’re talking specifically about image proxying vs mirroring in this thread.
sorry
