⚠️ #Tusky ⚠️, some #CustomEmoji in posts are being animated despite having them disabled in Tusky's preferences.

Just came across one of the fast paced flashing blob emojis (blob_rave) through scrolling and spotted it. Searching that emoji "blob_rave", most rightly aren't being animated, but there are a few that are popping up for me being animated, specifically a post containing that emoji that also is in #MastoAdmin & #FediAdmin tags.

Wann ist das denn passiert?
Wieso zappeln animated Emojis jetzt dauerhaft, statt nur, wenn ich mit der Maus über den Post gehe???
ICH WILL DAS NICHT!!!

Ich habe nichts an den Einstellungen geändert; da ist immer noch autoplay = off. (erweiterte Ansicht)

@ottaross it's not ideal, and it's not extensively tested, but the following #UserScript should help reduce their impact on browsers that can load userscripts: https://gist.github.com/FiXato/1333e8ac7e7d98d85ca669bc9d176c7a

UserScript for Mastodon to stop emoji from playing continuously.

Okay @Gargron we're going to need an option in #Mastodon 4.1 to block the display of animated emojis. Those things are nasty and I can't scroll fast enough to get them off my screen.
