@sop couldn't read them all, will need a few more passes, but some suggestions are hilarious, well done 😆.

these 1 frame walls of text are killing me though, will need to just extract the thing…

edit: forgot we could show video controls on gifs, best thing ever.

strong-clap, great work!

@tshirtman @sop how do you show the video controls?

@xale @sop right click on the gif, -> show video controls (at least in firefox).

@jbiserkov @tshirtman @xale @sop For some reason, Mastodon seems to label all video as "GIF", which is frustrating to me

@golemwire @jbiserkov @tshirtman @xale @sop it doesn't label all videos as GIF, it secretly converts GIFs to video!

Though I must admit I don't know how clever it is about remembering what was supposed to be GIF vs ‘video without audio’…

But anyway, video videos get tagged with their length not ‘GIF’.
