The defaults can make a difference. I implemented this feature on my personal instance, and now that image posts are hidden by default, I no longer interact with them consciously or subconsciously. The most engaging looking things on my front page are high effort posts that promote discussion like the OP. A LOT of people don’t change defaults, so it might change what gets engagement if Lemmy does it.

I also implemented this for comments, so if you drop a pepe.jpg as a response, you’ll have to use some words to get me to click on it.
