Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this.

I’ll stay on the Reddit-style side of the Fediverse, I’ve settled into a Kbin instance and run many Lotide communities. I think I’ll lock some communities I run here and point others to alternative communities.

I use non-algorithmic RSS feeds nowadays. Used to use Feedly, I’ve since switched to Read You on Android.

This was wild. If this is some concerted effort, I wonder what group is pulling it off

Racism was in the linked post, someone was making racist posts and that’s why we got blocked

Hmm. Well, that’s too bad, but I could see why racist posts would make them upset.

Splattering racism everywhere is akin to being antagonistic. Free speech is good, but don’t be shocked if people block instances with racist spam.

Inevitable, the fee instances and the non-free instances tend to sort themselves out and clump together

Yeah I’d assumed something like this was the case until I learned that Part 2 wasn’t done yet, I thought they’d crammed to finish both movies back to back, Peter Jackson’s LOTR style

Thanks! It’s working now.

Oh…wait, what is the bitrate of your file? After doing testing I’ve generally found that anything above 15 Mbps can cause problems over WiFi due to varying conditions unless you live in optimal networking conditions

Are you using raw rips? Those can be huge and might be hard to encode in real time. If you wanna both use raw files and have encoded media, I would make encoded versions beforehand, rather than encoding them on the fly.

Oh hey stux! Nice to see you here!

Yes. I’m now a reformed pirate (no more pirating for me! Save lost media ofc) and I get a similar thrill by removing DRM from my DVD/Blu Ray & iTunes purchases.

Yep! Same! That feature is definitely instrumental in my generally pro free speech position when it comes to Fediverse moderation. Bad actors usually tend to clump together in tight-knit instances.

Banned in classes

Weird. Users should be able to block or mute instances.

If you’re committing stochastic terrorism you’re complicit in terrorism, but IDK if that actually makes you a terrorist.

It’s an overused term anyways since people incorrectly use it to refer to “extreme rhetoric” rather than speech that has specifically led to violence.

Can’t you block or mute instances yourself?

For me, searching using the remote URL works better.
