CSS should allow nearest scaling, so if the forum lets you do that, you could keep the gifs at the original resolution, significantly reducing the size, but still letting people with 4k screens see them large.
That would be ideal for me as well (it would allow for longer gifs), but i dont know of any way to do that here.

Can we also have support for AV1 Image File Format (AVIF)? It's more compressed than GIF/PNG/WEBP.

Sounds like a good idea, except that there's still not widespread support for animated AVIFs.
