Try to post again with an attached picture smaller than 200kB (crop it, 
8bits conversion)

Ah ah, I was caught too by this limit several time. But luckily Juan 
raised its limit to 200kB, it was 50kB before.

I don't agree "drive space" and other related IT commodities are cheap 
those days, in fact they have reached an unsustainable cost when you 
consider their associated external cost on our planet (the true cost of 
things).

Personally, before attaching an image, I always reduce its size in Bytes 
to the minimum: I crop it to the only meaningful element, convert it to 
8bits and save it as a PNG file.

We are likely a small community with too few people hooked on Discord. 
You are productive on Discord when you are searching for answer, if not 
I felt it is as a drain for productivity.

With good parallelization of tasks[*], email is quite productive where 
more time is given to thinking, nicely articulated answers and 
archiving. In instant messaging there is too much noise.

Take your time to discover Cuis, you will discover it is a tool crafted 
with a lot of attention and care. Because of this particular care, you 
will find it is easy to extend and to extend and to adjust to your need.

[*] I am lucky to be about 6 zones away from several members of the 
community. So an email sent in the evening will have a quite long time 
of exposure and likely an answer the morning later.
