    Iran’s economy is already structured to be able to withstand these kinds of issues, in that they’ve been dealing with sanctions for decades. I mean its not great for them, but they have far more options available to them than the US does.

      What kind of asshole has a moving picture on their username? It’s annoying as shit. It speaks to your character, which I already know is shit.

        I’m not sure if you can still read this, but use the ublock eyedropper tool to add a custom filter for the gif. It annoys me too, but you can just fix it for yourself rather than fruitlessly blame others.

        What a fucking hilarious and laughable criticism. And I appreciate you making it. You even bringing it up outs you as an utter tool-bag.

        Also, it speaks to your character? What are you a fucking boy-scout leader? You sound like the shittiest of shitlibs when you talk like that.

        I’m sorry you want the world to be a drab, boring, inanimate hell-scape, if you want that, its not like you can’t go make an account at the CNN comment section and take your comments there, along with your utterly inauthentic perspectives.

          While I think the other user is overreacting, I do agree that i find flashy gifs as a user icon disruptive and inthinknless of the poster. Its not the equivalent of a personalised t shirt IRL.its more like the person on the bus who doesn’t know how tonise earohones and inflicts their bad music choices on everyone else.

            I want more flashy gifs.

            I want a rainbow streamer following my cursor.

            I want explosive flashes every time I key in a response.

            I want a big ORGASMIC *“UNNNNGHhhhhh…” sound to go off every time I hit reply.

            I want the world to be a fuller, brighter, more vivid picture. Thats why I’m on the fediverse. Its a space for that.

            If you want drab, corporate grey, its not like there aren’t space that offer a muted experience. You can go have that. Its everywhere. But thats not what this space is for.

              You should start adding subway surfers gifs to your comments to really lock in the iPad Kid/popup ad aesthetic

              The first time in saw an animated gif user icon on the fediverse, i thought : ‘huh, that’s neat, that you can do that’.

              The next time, it was : ‘huh, people are going to make them flashy and annoying, aren’t they. Why do people have to ruin everything.’

              You do you, but if you enjoy it, you should be aware that notneveruone does and you are actively detracting from other peoples enjoyment, which is by definition, a selfish act, not what the fediverse is about, since you being up a comparison to corporate media.

                Have you considered that you might be actively detracting from other peoples enjoyment by not having a cool flashy avatar? The knife cuts both ways.

                And like I said previously, 99% of the internet is already geared to your stated preference. And your coming to the tiny 1% of part of the internet and basically asking that it also should meet your preference… Seems a bit selfish.

          It is annoying to see moving pictures while you are reading. You are inconsiderate, and [redacted.]

              The authorities are never there, until they are.

              Spoilier, nowadays, they are everywhere, technolocy has allowed them to surveil everything, with “ai” which is flawed and comes to incorrect conclusions.

              That said, why do you annoy everyone that reads your posts with a moving picture? Seriously. Plus I know you are a dick, not a good person.

                you annoy everyone that reads your posts with a moving picture

                Because 1) you don’t speak for any one but yourself, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to be here.

                And 2)

                Plus I know you are a dick, not a good person.

                Bruh. You don’t know anything. You just trying to police other peoples behavior, and you doing it here. That makes you an objectively bad person. You want a boring, sterile internet: bruh thats literally the entire rest of the internet. Go there if you don’t like people who have spirit and are enthusiastic.

                  On the contrary, you insulted me for no good reason, when we were conversing, like really bad insults, I think you are a mean drunk in fact, can’t handle you liquor. Or maybe you are just [redacted.]

                    You were the first to get abusive. So while I also think animated user icons are annoying for the most part, you were the one being an asshole, by starting out with calling them an asshole.

                    If you don’t like the animations, turn them off in your client. If your client doesn’t allow it, find one that does.
