    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.

      actively detracting from other peoples enjoyment, which is by definition, a selfish act

      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.
