I got the same thing. I thought I was being baited. But, something odd is going on with the lemmy preview. If you follow the actual link to the imgur page then the gif plays fine, but clicking the thumbnail goes to a re-hosted version on mander.xyz which is a static jpeg with the play button somehow burned in. Weird.
Is the arrow part of the sticker or did you take a screenshot of an unplayed video?

It’s a gif, but a gifv which are correctly treated and controlled like a video stream by browsers.
I think it was a faulty upload to imgur based on the comments I’ve seen. I’m not sure the SOP for uploading gifs here.
