@NolanOBrien thanks for engaging. It might be a good idea to provide an override to the default, so users can opt out of compression out of the box. Otherwise it’s just going to be a lot of discontent and every attempt will be made to override or hack the compression. Which will force twitter to patch until it’s unhackable and artists on twitter to leave. My own pixelart content is safe as png8 but I’m still thinking of leaving in solidarity, if enough artists are upset enough to leave.
Also how about adding proper gifs at last? Pixelart absolutely suffers when converted to your video format (stutter when looping, hideous compression artifacts) and it results in larger files. A size test will confirm it every time. I tweeted a dubious and half-working workaround 5 years ago (506px width) and I still get asked about it as if I’m an expert. This isn’t normal
