You can use animated GIFs for your Mastodon profile's avatar and header image. However, these may not animate automatically for some people depending on their settings or app. If they don't animate automatically, they can usually be activated by clicking on them or hovering a mouse pointer over them.

⚠️ DO NOT use any kind of rapidly flashing animations! These can be extremely dangerous for people with certain neurological conditions. More info at fedi.tips/dont-use-flashing-im

@FediTips I hate animated gifs for avatars so much that I don't follow such people. Annoys me to no end because they disturb the timeline. (and I already deactivated animated gifs). Says someone using animated gifs in some posts. 😉

@FediTips

Bear in mind that for some of us (including many autists) may find it impossible to concentrate on reading a message if something is moving or flashing on the screen. Not all apps allow the animation to be turned off (@trunksapp for instance).

I have had to mute quite a few accounts because they use animated gifs in their name.
