So what's wrong with webp? Who is driving/opposing the adoption? (lemmy.ca)

It seems like either

I get a .webp file when I don't want it (downloading images)
I try to use a .webp format, but it isn't allowed (uploading images)

So who is trying to encourage people to use it, and who is trying to prevent adoption?

I'm constantly converting it with imagemagick and other tools

It's not, but for memes and shit, IDGAF about lossy vs lossless. I just don't want to have to jump through hoops to text it to a friend.

And for image storage on my instance, I'm not paying for people to upload lossless images. They can take webp or not upload anything :P

I think they meant comparing with jpeg might have been a fairer comparison.
