A workaround for this issue is to prevent Discourse from downloading the remote images. This can be done by adding the image domain to the `disabled image download domains` site setting. It is also possible to prevent Discourse from downloading _all_ remote images by disabling the `download remote images to local` site setting. See [Fix broken images for posts created by the WP Discourse and RSS plugins](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-broken-images-for-posts-created-by-the-wp-discourse-and-rss-plugins/160773) for details.
