With the amount of comments under a Lemmy post is this really a serious issue for you? If you're scrolling through hundreds or thousands of comments, I see how GIFs might be distracting but with only the few, up to a few dozens of comments under a typical post here I don't see how this can be a major dealbreaker.
Major? Nah. But I would've preferred it if the feature was never implemented in the first place, so I'd love a setting to de-implement it.
Ruben isn't your run of the mill dev. His track record for implementing requested features is long. Why not make the request and see what happens?
Edit: Besides, my most used apps are, according to Nova, Boost and Boost. Discontinued boost doesn't have the issue and he's probably never going back to it even to fix what little things Reddit broke. Inline gifs used to be a planned feature, though and he'd have already implemented it if not for Reddit's fuckery and you'd see the exact same post on the subreddit. Continued boost has it, so you see it here.
Of course you're free to request whatever you want. I also don't object the feature. I was just wondering on how this can be such an important feature ('IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented') for someone rather than a minor inconvenience. ;)
I concede, their worst feature is new.reddit, but Firefox for android implemented full addon support a few months ago, a workaround before that and I don't even remember how long tampermonkey has been in the recommended list, so I have no interaction with that trash. Any other little annoyances, like breaking up comments to recommend you posts have been trivial to circumvent.
