no, a random image I just now check was 3.3mb even. But you're right, the image source does point to the origins server location... Then why are all those images stored on the server ?
OK, I've just realised something new - images pulled from websites as thumbnails are uploaded to the server and appear to be basically full sized, i.e.:
https://agora.nop.chat/pictrs/image/59cfdd9c-2f69-4e8d-8afc-6fbc0c1cca87.jpeg
This image is on my server, but it's just pulled from the website as a thumbnail. This doesn't seem to be super consistent in how it's handled - I'm continuing to look at what's causing it and why it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
EDIT: Seems like there's more on there than I expected. Gonna continue digging.
