@arteteco @freemo @snow @mngrif @users @QOTO I also have animations in general disabled, as much as possible, they seem more of a distraction than content. The design Snow has made is pretty and colourful, but I can foresee some backlash (as Freemo mentioned, regarding the Arxiv bots).
Some people don't like to see instance features as a new user attraction factor (these people are usually supporters of the 500 chars hard limit, Eugen included).
I like the current qoto announce bot avatar, it's the same image that is displayed at the joinmastodon.org site, isn't it?
@design_RG
It is yes
