I know the proxy at https://proxy.vulpes.one displays images inline,
though I tend to agree with Tomasino on this issue.
Yeah, having now thought about it for more thanlike three seconds, it would either lead to certainchunks of the community writing content under theassumption that your client will in-line images, andtheir content not being readable in mainstream clients,or if clients that do this themselves becomemainstream, then everyone will start writing contentassuming that, and suddenly simple clients are lockedout from interacting with most content.
text/gemini is intentionally text-y and prettyopinionated about that, and in-lining images runscounter to the prevailing gopheresque idiom it'sis trying to capture.
