WebP images are labeled as an "invalid file type" when you drag and drop them into the UI. However, if you use the usual file upload dialogue, they do work and are uploadable in Mastodon 4.1.4.
How you found the issue
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Drag & drop a WebP image over the post box.
Observe that it says "invalid filetype"
Click the image upload button
Upload the same image successfully.
What you expected to happen
Both drag and drop and file upload should be consistent with eachother.
I think this check should probably not even be being made clientside, since supported filetypes for upload will vary per instance as time goes on and Mastodon and other software that supports the Mastodon API changes.
