Let's be clear: animation in SVG images does work, using SMIL or CSS
animations. What doesn't work is event-triggered animations. Animated GIFs
don't support event-triggered animations, so you shouldn't have any
problems replacing animated GIFs with animated SVG images.

I assume that a lot of the people who let you upload to IMG but not IFRAME
don't want you to upload interactive stuff, and we shouldn't break those
expectations. You can't smuggle interactive uploads into social media sites
by changing browsers underneath them. You need to negotiate directly with
those sites to find out what it would take for them to allow uploads of
interactive content. If it would take new browser features, I'd like to
hear about that.
