@thatguyoverthere @thor also editing analog film is extremely limited and usually tedious so for many uses it still needs to be digitized, losing all advantages of analog version.
@moffintosh @PinkWug it was still proof that the common people have more power working together than any of the scary evil rich entities. We can control the market, we can shape it however we want, we are a key cog in the machine without the cooperation of which none of the "rich elites" can do crap. The problem is that it requires cooperation and we're generally awful at cooperation. This means a truly free market capitalism doesn't work well and needs at least some regulation, but it also means that all non-market-based systems that are based purely on altruistic cooperation instead of competition and cooperation can be thrown right into the trash where they belong.
@PinkWug anti-capitalists: there's more of us than them we can overturn the system if we work together
also anti-capitalists: boohoo my personal market power is so much smaller than a super rich person's in the top 0.1% of the population
I thought the WSB saga would at least work as a proof of concept but apparently no, they just like to feel powerless and miserable.
@VD15 AFAIK its origin is this legendary SO answer from 2009 https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/4883264
@VD15 was that the parsing HTML with regex pasta or an independent rant?
@VD15
>parses HTML with regex
clearly too powerful for this mortal plane

@Wander The fediverse has had the issue of a "block everyone first and ask questions later" culture since Gargron went around touting it to journalists as "Twitter without Nazis." It attracted the kind of people that want the internet, if not the world at large to be a safe space devoid of people that disagree with them. That line of thinking is also really rampant among Reddit moderators, and Lemmy instances tend to give you the worst of both worlds.

The #Fediverse needs to learn some serious conflict resolution...
If we ever aspire to become a serious alternative to corporate platforms we can't continue with this behavior. Let me explain.
Two days ago someone created a "The_Donald" community of a well-known #Lemmy instance. Immediately there were cries for defederation, blocking, and suspicion about the admin letting racists run rampant on his instance.
What ultimately happened was that when the admin logged in they removed that community. But before they even had time to realize what was happening they were already being accused of stuff and if any instance heeded the call to block, it would have caused damage to the users who would have their subscriptions / follows severed.
Some users who've just arrived from Reddit and bring a fresh perspective are already wary of the shit show this can become.
That instance resisted massive blocks because it was large enough. But what if it was smaller?
@lore @Zergling_man @benis why would you give them that, it was obvious from the very beginning that they wanted a maximally closed ecosystem controlled by them and chose Linux only because developing their own OS would've taken way too long and be less efficient than just taking Linux and setting what is effectively an entire proprietary other OS layer on top of it.

@coolboymew I hate clickbait thumbnails I hate clickbait thumbnails I hate clickbait thumbnails I hate clickbait thumbnails I hate clickbait thumbnails
fuck the current algorithm basically forcing creators to stoop to that level to game it to have a chance of their videos being shown even to their subscribers, Youtube should keel over and die already.
@thor absolutely typical for FOSS projects
