I wasn't entirely feeling the wiggle physics in reviewing it in this recording, so I spent some time making it feel more swishy~.

okay mastodon why are you turning this mp4 specifically into a gif

Trying both the Twitter version (not compressed by Handbrake because Twitter hates that??) and the compressed version is the same. Maybe Mastodon interprets a video as a gif (even though it's still video) if it's under a certain length and has no audio channel??

why is modern web, this

@Taylor "GIF" /that's not a GIF!!!/ "GIF" does not mean "short video clip" GIF means GIF!

Discord does it too and it drives me up a wall.

@Taylor And Mastodon actually does the /opposite/ it turns GIFs into MP4s.

And then has the audacity to /still call them GIFs/.
