Ummm... Yeah... The view is skewed methinks?

"Is", actually. "Is just a crappy 8-bit file format".

Yes, observationally, a .gif has become somewhat synonymous with any relatively short, shitty, meme-ism, much like an .avi, but I would suggest that what you're generating is more of a Fediverse (mastotronic, actually) limitation whereby the user effects a download of the meme in .gif format and it shows up on your storage device as an mp4 file - this is not a limitation of the file format except in the sense of a #Fediverse (in this case, mastotron) limitation.

The conversion occurs when you d/l the graphic to a local file system - and it is shameless.

For example I save them through matrix since they retain their, as you put it, their "crappy 8-bit file format" as intended, instead of the fucking #Frankenstein bullshit that mastopub servers force - Mastodon, by the way, is already on its way out - the Fediverse has left it behind and increasingly, it seeks kludges to remain relevant in the #ActivityPub sectors of the Fediverse.

Bye bye #mastopub and #Eugen's brief grip on the Fediverse and all the phenomenal emerging technologies that are largely replacing it in the world of #ActivityPub alone!

Fuck that guy. He's a #simp bitch.
