prefers-reduced-motion is a text color animation ok?
I'm making a text-based browser game and I just added a
Wating for player to join indicator when you join the room and it has a wave animation, but I'd also like to take into consideration users with prefers-reduced-motion setting on so I made an alternative for it, where text "shines" through.
I'm not sure if it's a good alternative or if it's still too much for users who prefer reduced motion, does anybody know anything about it? First gif is original, second is reduced motion version

That still creates the illusion of movement. Maybe just animate the dots in the ellipsis. It's a much smaller change, so it causes less irritation.
Good idea, will do so if I get more feedback that it causes problems but, just to clarify, are you speaking from experience/are you affected by these types of animations?
I am affected by it.
Could you let me know what you think of this one if you find the time? It's in the spirit of no motion but I wish there was more to it, it feels really bare bones but maybe it's fine?
It doesn't irritate me.
