Feature description

Currently Molly compresses images that surpass a certain file size and certain dimensions. This leads to high quality images being severely compressed.

It would be great if max media/attachment sizes were one single size. It has been a request on the signal community forum for about 5 years now and just shy of the top 10 in terms of responses in the feature requests (less in views).

I am not sure whether it's helping with retaining a good relationship with Signal to increase load on Signal's servers by implementing a feature they rejected because it would increase load on their servers.
