Heya, @phase
Please do us a favor and do a CW for the gifs you post that have rapid animation in them. Those can trigger seizures or other neurological episodes in photosensitive conditions. Thanks!

Hi caaddison88–I think you can also explore the preferences to slow animations and even stop auto play—these might help you navigate for all of the gifs posted.
@Minholkin @phase I didn't see anything about slowing--just hiding them altogether. I can look at animations of, say, animals running or someone talking; but I can't do the strobing-effect ones. Thanks for trying to help!
@caaddison88 @Minholkin @phase
In your profile, under Preferences/Media display, make sure auto play animated gifs is unchecked.
@heyrhiannon @caaddison88 @Minholkin @phase
Yes it’s here. I think you have to opt in to auto play as a feature to accommodate those with this specific challenge. You can still see the first frame of the gif, but it won’t play. Since 99% of her art/gifs involves rolling patterns, you might just avoid them altogether.
@misslovelymess @heyrhiannon @Minholkin @phase Weird. I already have it set to reduce motion in animated gifs. Hers must be reeeeally fast.
