    Quick question… Discord uses an inbuilt gif thingy. Is that Gfycat or going to be impacted in some way?

      I don’t think so. I think Discord uses tenor gifs

      The other comment already mentioned that Discord uses Tenor, but you’re probably thinking of Giphy, which is another service similar to Tenor. Gfycat is a bit different, and was more like Imgur.

        Giphy is owned by Meta now I believe.

          Meta owned it for a brief moment, but was forced to sell it. It’s now owned by Shutterstock.

      Pretty sure Gboard uses GIFY, so stock Android should be okay
