@catraxx@tech.lgbt You know taht a tleast four *key users are loading their 4MB gif to show you how big they can be?

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social ​​ this one is ~500 kb

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social and that's "optimised"

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social there's a ~5mb version floating around, iirc

@Chloe @Erpel Mkay ... i mean that's cool and all, but the first thing i'd be looking for is how to opt out.

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social opt out? of receiving emoji?

@Chloe @Erpel Emojis that large. or alternatively, animated emoji. Not a fan of them and it's horrible for accessibility and should always be able to be turned off anyway.

@Erpel@hai.z0ne.social @catraxx@tech.lgbt don't forget we can do this

@Chloe @Erpel Yeah, i'm aware.

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Chloe@catwithaclari.net SOme people don't like MFM, so they chose instances that doesn't support it

@Erpel @Chloe I mean if it all works on your instances, that's great? Why does it need to be universal?

@catraxx@tech.lgbt @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social Ideally, you should be able to see any given post exactly as the original poster intended, but because of the nature of the fediverse this is fundamentally impossible

@Chloe @Erpel I'm not sure i'd want that either. Some instances allow strange stuff. I am easily overwhelmed by stuff like that. It's why i never warmed up to telegram or discord. It's just stickers all the time there and then sure, animate them, it's fucking horrible, i'm sorry.

It's great when you like it, but when you are sensitive to it, it really sucks. And that's not me hating fun, that's me hating headaches.
