I always turn off media previews when I’m traveling out of the country and don’t have unlimited data

I recently did that and 2 days of amethyst are 4gb data
I use Damus and it doesn’t use much data with media previews turned off for me
I don't think efficiency is on the radar for Amethyst. At least not from what I can tell. The focus seems to be on shipping features at any cost.
Amethyst is specially costly. Would be amazing if users have an interface to tweak default subscriptions, deactivate drafts, kind 1 edits etc
