It seems like all the biggest comms prohibit posting videos. I'm mostly talking about news, world news, etc. at lemmy.world... What are the biggest comms or instances that allow posting videos? I enjoy reading but I also enjoy watching and posting videos. Thanks!

 

Grindr won’t allow users to add “no Zionists” to their profiles, but allows any number of other phrases that state political, religious, and ethnic preferences, according to 404 Media’s tests of the platform and user reports.

Several users received an error message that says “The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists,” when they tried to add the phrases to their bios on Thursday. I tested this myself on a new Grindr account, and received the same error message. I was able to add “Zionist” to my profile (without “no”), however, and could also add any phrase I could think of: “no Arabs,” “no Blacks,” “no Palestinians,” “no Muslims,” “no Christians,” “no Jews,” “no trans,” “no Republicans,” “no Democrats,” and so on. “No Zionist[s]” was the only phrase that was blocked in my testing.

Is it cool to post random bangers? Maybe a [SLEPT ON] tag? Just trying to fire up the comm...

Some people collect Magic Cards.

Each is a unique piece of art with a different use in a complicated game. Very affordable and easy to store.

Meanwhile silencers... Creepy AF. Kinda wacky to equate with Magic cards.

I would definitely rather hang out with a Magic nerd than a gun psycho. Not even close.

Hoarding anything is bad. Hoarding silencers is sociopathic.

Dat settler-colonial insecurity runs deep.

Good question. For some reason the first song that I think of is Knuckleheadz by Raekwon. But I feel like that says more about me than hip hop. There's so many times and genres that it's hard to pick just one.

What does that have to do with this article?

Then this is not psychology.

As the planet continues to be destroyed, any progress will depend on reigning in extreme privileges. So the privileged will increasingly embrace fascism and violence to maintain their position. There are not many people more privileged on the planet than MAGA.

Have you ever seen the culture in USA? Literally both "parties" are genocidal. It's not learned so much as indoctrinated from birth. Not to mention the racism, patriarchy, etc.

It's not "human nature" or any other psuedo-science. It's the unsurprisingly result of an extremely fascist society. Literally founded on genocide and slavery. Both "parties" openly support genocide right now. This is what USA has always been.

Hell no. It's reactionary liberal garbage. They think the NYTimes is leftist ffs.

[–] technocrit 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who'd have imagined that a state founded on genocide and slavery would be run by sociopaths? Always has been.
