Gif certainly does mean no sound. Look at discord, telegram or literally any app that says “gif” and it’s no sound video.

- tjoff 28d agoThose are messaging/communication apps,sound in those apps can be quite disruptive so that doesn't surprise me at all. It has nothing to do with the original gif, it is just that gif is now synonymous with short clip (with or without sound) and sound in that context is disruptive. Go to google.com, search for images and select image type gif and you will get mp4s with sound.
- duskwuff 28d agoTelegram's usage of "GIF" (any short video without sound) is incredibly weird and frequently goes against users' expectations. I wouldn't treat that as definitive.
