Hi,

Our goal is to upload non squared Emoji (more like tiny reaction gifs) so we disabled the `enforce square emoji` setting. The images are not resized on upload but are still squares when including them in posts because of the CSS rule. Is that the expected behaviour?

When the setting is enabled, the behaviour is exactly the same: the image is not resized on upload but with the CSS.

So, what is the purpose of this setting?

Thanks!
