Only because of ~~giphy~~ other platforms being shut down soon. No other reason. Just need a new place to show GIFs. Pretty important. Just normal GIFs.

Some communities currently just show a link which directs to your browser and it's not a smooth experience.

I just want that one of Homer backing into a hedge or Matt Damon turning old at the end of saving private Ryan. Just normal fun GIFs.

Totally innocent normal GIFs.

On redgifs.

What do mean? It's used pretty extensively.

What people call GIFs these days are almost always not actually GIFs. GIFs will usually have high dithering due to it using an 8-bit color palette and an odd frame rate because the per-frame delay is specified in jiffies so you can't really get normal framerates (especially high ones).

What dethroned GIFs was the <video> HTML element. The video format doesn't matter.
