I'm fine with this. Instances shouldn't proxy or cache images because it opens instance owners to a lot more liability than text. A client side setting to not load images in comments by default is better.
Each instance stores post thumbnails locally even if the post was on another server. It actually takes up quite a bit of hdd space.
