## Switch off animation until a decision is made I've posted [an answer listing possible options](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288816/288817#answer-288817) which can be discussed over time, but I recommend that in the meantime animation is suppressed completely. Switching animation off everywhere for everyone is much quicker and easier than implementing a user setting or a community setting. If we wait for a community decision to be made, and then wait for it to be implemented, we have a period during which no user can choose to prevent animations being displayed to them, and any user can choose to set their avatar to a potentially dangerous flickering image. See [Photosensitive epilepsy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosensitive_epilepsy "Wikipedia article"). This is in addition to the general irritation of not being able to choose whether animations appear in your reading material.
