There’s an option to add reaction gif things to forum replies. So you’d hit a ‘gif’ button at the top of the text button, you do a search for a gif and can insert into post.
I dunno maybe it won’t be so widely used, but I feel like it encourages low effort comments. Some of the best discussions are when people react to stuff and explain why they feel a certain way about a certain issue, but it kind of kills it when people can just put a gif of someone shrugging or clapping or freaking out or whatever. I find slack/teams really annoying for the same reason. Although that’s work related. And this is specifically for avoiding work. So maybe not.
