Quality is good on Voyager
It's perfectly fine for me (mbin) so I guess it must be the app.
Its like that for me on Thunder as well... I think there may be some kind of setting irt to ... how it caches/renders thumbnails from posts, but yeah, all these giant, extremely vertical image caps, usually from tumblr, just are not handled well on mobile apps.
The images are stupid huge in size, so most apps attempt to scale the preview resolution... and then that looks like ass because they are very very vertical, instead of something closer to 16:9.
It'll go to the real image when you click on it, but then zooming and scrolling through it is also a bit fucky wucky, because the dimensions are so out of wack.
Apps don't usually render Lemmy content universally well. In such cases you might use the browser page as a fall-back?
e.g. PieFed renders this to perfection for me on Android Firefox at https://piefed.social/post/889181 . The original Lemmy version at https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ce7d4419-038a-4d75-824e-d48aae69c122.png is janky but quite serviceable.
Looks fine for me on interstellar.
I think it's the source itself, Boost let's me zoom in but the quality doesn't improve.
You have to click the hd button to download full quality version, top right

It does take two to tango, though...
I just got up and this is probably the funniest thing I'll see all day.
Am I supposed to think the guy is funny, clever, or not a complete douchebag?
That bumper sticker is kind of funny though.
Funny sticker along with an amusing example of what happens when you feed the troll
It’s some classic oldschool trolling. The best kind of troll is one where literally everyone reading the post can see that the troll is trolling, except for the person being trolled who thinks they’re in a debate that they have a chance of somehow winning
I find it kinda funny but maybe that's because I'm stupid.
He's a hero. Unironically.
How so?
Not to give them too much credit for just posting, but if even a single person on the fence about signing on saw his posts and got anxious that their SO would cheat on them while they're gone, then they've saved that person from making a terrible decision and, more importantly, saved the people who would've been personally harmed by their actions.
To defeat an enemy without firing a shot (except into their wife, heyoo) is the best form of victory. And it's effective. It's hard to combat enemy propaganda telling soldiers they're the good guys because the enemy generally has a stronger signal and a captive audience - but remind them of home while playing on their existing anxieties, and they'll be demoralized and less willing to continue the fight.
In case my perspective wasn't clear, I hate the US military and generally consider doing things to hurt or demoralize the troops to be not only morally permissable, but morally commendable.
On one hand, the US military is terrible and anything that causes people to not go to it is good.
On the other hand, most people who join the military join out of desperation due to poverty and wanting better opportunities, so I kinda empathize with them without approving of their actions. Not to mention, the military tries its best to recruit fresh 18 year olds. Why are we judging TEENAGERS for their bad choices? The brain doesn't develop fully until 25. They're essentially victims of grooming that turn into killers. It's no different to me than joining a gang, and I don't think this guy would have the balls to trash talk an actual gang member like this.
Basically, I would say to this guy "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
