How will the chuds, gooners and snobs who fansplains in pedantic verbosity over a Sci fi movie misconception respond with trying to think of anything clever to say now?
huh, I contributed hundreds of hand made GIFs to tenor when I was big into Twitch, yet again the hard work of people gets eaten up by a company and closed off. Fuck you Google/Alphabet, I hope your AI eats your fucking lunch
Parent companies shouldn't be a thing. If a company buys another company, it should be fully integrated, and all branding should be legally required to reflect the new ownership.
I don't even think there should be a stock market, or companies not owned by the employees. Hell, I might have enough of these to get a bedtime Arya Stark chant going.
This news has been around for months yet I still cannot understand why they are doing this. They can't actually be thinking that anybody would want to go to tenor.com and look at gifs right???
It does for me now as well. But I've got gifs shared in my channel on 6/28 and 6/29 with the URL still hosted on Tenor, which I know came from the built-in gif browser, so it may not have been applied to all clients at the same time. Could have been in an A/B state, or maybe different app versions between OS types.
Weirdly enough, although the API was supposedly cancelled, if you have an old client it still works fine. Currently writing this as of 2026-07-02T04:34:00Z.
Discord's gif picker doesn't go directly to Tenor, it passes through their internal CDN, so it may be some caching. But it's still funny that it works.
On a related note why are you so bitter over people being annoyed by the enshittification of yet another small source of joy in this hell world?
Is this that sour grapes thing? Or do you have an issue with people using reaction gifs to convey a concept that's either too convoluted or requires too much context to type out?
For example, this entire comment could have just been;
Good riddance. I hate convos that are just a long list of useless gifs rather than actual comprehensible text messages. I don't want giant images with half my screen moving to accompany each of your three-word texts.
Those are overused, overstimulating, and make conversations dumb.

I think stopping there is best. We don't need companies buying other companies, full stop.

Or better yet, companies should break up when they're close to getting too big.

Someone should find or make a website with a graphic showcase of corporations links between them.

It's like if my ISP decided I needed to drive to a local office in town to pick up my data packets. WTF!?

Discord already moved to using Klipy since early Spring or so. It's ok, I guess.
zikzak025@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 36d
Has it? My Discord channel shows me a Tenor gif I posted just yesterday that I shared using the native search.
If they are using Klipy, it must be a hybrid solution at the moment.
xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 35d
When I hit the Gif button on Discord it says “search Klipy”. It has for about 4 months now.

Weird, you’d think they would keep it running just for data harvesting

catbox.moe for the win
dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 36d
I have never seen a catbox.moe gif that worked.
DarkSirrush@piefed.ca · 15 pts · 36d
Annoyingly, its on one of the most common pihole/adblocker lists, and I could never find a legitimate reason for why it is.
missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 36d
Anonymous file uploaders are pretty commonly abused to distribute malware so considering how popular catbox is that's probably how it got on there.
DarkSirrush@piefed.ca · 2 pts · 36d
The thing is, there are much worse services, that serve malware ads, that aren't on the same lists.

Is it a bad sign that i have never heard of if before?
Ajen@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 35d
No, most people haven't heard of it, but you've probably used it because it used to be integrated into a lot of apps that everyone has heard of.
