We opened a discussion upstream on pixelfed: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/discussions/5283

Nobody responded, but through further digging I think the conclusion we came to is that it first uploads to the local filesystem, then to garage. It does this so that the image can be accessed immediately, but then very soon after that the website switches to fetching from s3

The DANGEROUSLY_SET_FILESYSTEM_DRIVER environment variable can be set to s3 to get pixelfed to ONLY use s3.
