I was hyped when I read that there's a reasonable alternative with better search. Then I realized that they're exclusively on slack.

Do gifs really only happen on slack for y'all? That's the place I encounter them the least, and I think that's a good thing. On the other hand, a ton of other places are more suitable for gifs, and (even) less suitable for using a facebook service, so this really hurts right now.

Overall I'm quite sad to see how centralized freaking gif-sharing is, and that it's happenind mostly in walled gardens?!

I meant rightgif, which the parent mentioned as an alternative.
