I would just turn off media uploads entirely.

Do you mean also disabling thumbnails? IIUC, pict-rs handles all thumbnail generation [1]. The reason I point this out is that simply disabling image uploads won't itself stop the generation of thumbnails [2]. There's also the question of storing/caching images that come from federated servers.

      Pict-rs is a service which does image processing. It handles user-uploaded images as well as downloading thumbnails for external images.
