They are not supposed to really know, it’s just very unusual for GIF to be used in the modern times for something that is not animated. I could technically check for that and act accordingly, but you are the first to point this out in 2 years, so thank you! 🫂🫡

GIFs were often used for bitmap images with a limited color palette prior to PNGs and I’m sure there are many people that still use them.
This image is fairly old (apparently from 2007) and created by some type of data visualization software.
It came from here:

I’ll patch this up, since the intention was not to optimize static GIFs as animations if they are not. Apparently a bug in my code somewhere 😅😭
Look at me, the accidental bug sleuth. 🪲🔍
On Nostr you're half user, half tester 💯
Always has been!
Ok, Mr. SuperDuperTester! Fixed now, but the old GIF that you uploaded will be deduped for the free upload (which was used) so any new hashes of static GIFs will be fine now 😂🫡🫂🚀
