For best results, use a Slack channel, or a forum reply page with an array of animated smileys.

To complain about GIF usage saturating your CPU when running an Electron app is to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Slack doesn't exactly have the most efficiently implemented front-end interface.

Ah, yes, I didn't realize that Slack's platform reimplemented the whole graphics-formats-rendering stack. I naively thought that Electron and Slack inherited that from Chromium, but guess stupid me is way behind the times in this technicky stuff. Of course it's all in Javascript now, what was I thinking!
