Somewhat related: Does anyone know why so many of the images uploaded to Lemmy are GIFs? Or at least download in that format when using Sync? It's kind of annoying because they aren't animated, they are completely static images, and all that does is cause problems with sending them in other apps. I frequently have to download an image, take a screenshot of it, and crop it to the original size again.

Also, why so many comments about gifs that don't use it's multi image slideshow functionality. And why are the times between images set so fast these days. I can't appreciate each image the author spent time to include.
