    When I try to type it just spazes out and flashes the text as I’m typing. Also all the gifs have a grainy pixelated look to them.

      GIFs have a grainy pixelated look to them? Well no crap, the format comes from the year 1989 and is limited to 256 colors.

      That’s totally normal believe it or not.

      Edit: GIF is actually older than Linux

          That means they blurred them for your viewing pleasure. They’re still 256 color animations where the format was invented in 1989.

          Edit: The process GIF uses to store semi-video quality is called error diffusion. Look it up. 256 color palette is rather limited.

            I’m not going to keep going back and forth about it. The fidelity of gifs on windows and Linux clients of discord differ greatly.
