Threads now has native GIF support, Glitch/Misskey/Firefish has emoji reactions. Masto should have both! (alien.top)

I feel like mastodon at times falls a bit behind on some features, would be cool to see if we can implement native gifs as per
Feature suggestion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25742

Threads has implemented a native experience which is superior than copying and pasting a gif using a 3rd party keyboard or having to hunt it down from the web
Ref: https://www.threads.net/@threads/post/Cy32ZRHOzuC/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

On that note, we are also missing emoji reactions, feels like we fall behind on the "fun" features

Yes, I get your points. All I'm saying is that working on ease of use for something that not everybody uses is not high priority. I'd much prefer the Mastodon team, with their limited resources, focus on improving existing features like following hashtags in lists, markdown support, supporting post migration during account migration, stuff like this.

Post migration during account migration would be huge yeah, I get where you're coming from
