mp4 is a video format, the key differences with animated images being autoplay, looping and maybe transparency.

Of all the formats you mentioned these are supported on popular platforms:

  • Twitter: gif
  • Discord: gif
  • Mastodon: gif
  • Reddit: gif, apng
  • Tumblr: gif, webp
  • Lemmy: gif, apng, webp

That's why gifs are still a thing.
