Any chance there could be a new feature to incorporate reaction GIFs like there is in iMessage, Discord, Facebook, etc. that go beyond smileys?

I couldn't resist (but sadly the gif isn't working)

I feel like they add so much to convos I have with all my friends on Discord. Am I the only one? Maybe I am.

In all seriousness I like the idea. I'm all for it

Doing a little bit of googling it looks like gif support is done mostly through extensions as it doesn't appear to be fully supported natively.

If MR added animated GIF capabilities, would there be any kind of filtering or screening to ensure the GIFs weren’t used to spread trackers, malware, viruses, and other types of attacks?

(MR team: personally, I like the lack of animated content on MR for many reasons.)

Only if there's a way to disable them... way too distracting.
