@Gargron Twitter compresses most pics to hell and back. They had to program some kind of special “we don’t compress this” shit for PNGs under a certain filesize or whatever so pixel artists could post their work and not have it annihilated by the compression.

@Gargron, Means?

@Gargron yeah they compress the hell out of images. GradientBot's thumbnail images on there are terrible, although occasionally they get an interesting texture to them. It's annoying because someone might see the super compressed thumbnail and think that's what the full size image looks like.

@Gargron I blame ceph. While it has inline image compression and scaling it's not the most elegant.
