Do you think we should allow gifs as avatars? They can sometimes be really annoying / distracting to me, but I wanna hear yall’s thoughts.

I think it makes sense to make it an instance option, and I think blocking them on the flagship instance is reasonable–but my corner of Mastodon seems to like having them so I think there’s fediverse demand that isn’t just me. :) Either way, I think it’s way less important than being able to block gif autoplay as a whole as a user setting or even the standard behavior.
I think there should be a user option to automatically glitch all avatars :D
if i weren’t at work I would be trying to shove some styling into the “rounded-circle” class… :woman supervillain:
