No, a link is enough.
If the post is public, anyone can see it.
If the author deletes posts after a while (automatically or manually), the link becomes invalid. So that's fine.
@hongminhee like I mentioned in a thread where Evan and Reiver were talking about this, I think having a mediaUpload that has a very similar behaviour to an inbox/outbox, but with one **small** changed detail is a bad API.
I would prefer there's either a two step process: upload media first, use resulting token in an object create, or use the outbox with for the binary data upload directly... The first one seems saner to me.

@LucasWerkmeister the existence of gender neutral bathrooms implies the existence of chaotic gender bathrooms and lawful gender bathrooms
Drafting a proposal to add API support in #Fedify for the ActivityPub Media Upload extension, the SocialCG-incubated #C2S companion that lets clients upload media via a dedicated endpoints.uploadMedia endpoint, separate from the outbox.
The sketched API mirrors the outbox listeners shipped in Fedify 2.2: setMediaUploader(path, callback) paired with .authorize(). Return a vocab.Object for 201 Created, or a URL for 202 Accepted.
This is still an early design draft. Feedback on the shape, semantics, and edge cases is very welcome:

I love gender neutral bathrooms
all my friends and enemies are inside them
@danjones000 right, unless there are other interesting apps that use the ActivityPub API.
I get people asking about the https://checkin.swf.pub/ app, for example.
