I Hate Webp (lemmy.world)

A good chunk of the time I can't share images because they're in Webp format. Is there a way to force a different format? I don't know if it's a function of the content or Boost.

Is the lack of support webp's fault? Is it fair to hate webp?

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Since I'm able to share gif, jpg, png files with no problem, then, yeah, I'm going to say this is webp's fault. Yes, I'm blaming a file format. /s(?)

No, I don't hate a file format, I hate its lack of support.

What's stopping you from sharing a webp? Recipients don't have a compatible app?

Some messaging clients don't support it either, it's still a mess after all these years
