oh god damnit Can we get an open source alternative to gfycat and tenor? We can build in some slash commands everywhere for it.

Tenor has become so inundated with shitty ~~gifs~~ ads for shitty TV shows that it's near unusable.

$prompt> boromir this is a gift

The infrastructure costs money. It's gotta come from somewhere.

I'd certainly welcome an Activitypub version.
