EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)
Fix?.... Look at the Lemmy code base.
This is a feature not a bug.
Making it mandatory and something you can't opt out of is not acceptable. "Work as a knockoff as a CDN" shouldn't be a requirement of running a vanity instance. That's a barrier to entry without much benefit.
Just run an allow-list?..
From what I understand, that's difficult to do, and even if done it prevents the inline loading of images from those other instances at all.
Hopefully it'll be academic before long anyway. The CSAM attack lit a fire under the devs and changing this is now one of their highest priorities.
