Reddit does this really shitty thing where they deliberately strip out the audio so you can't just link to a video like this (or easily download the video by just right clicking and pressing download), because what you end up with is a silent video.

yeah, I'm going to need to familiarize myself more with lemmy and voyager to upload actual video. they really drove reddit into the ground making it not play nice with other platforms

Yeah Lemmy doesn't actually support direct video uploading. So you'd need to upload somewhere else and link from there. Like people used to have to upload images to Imgur before linking that to Reddit, before Reddit supported direct images.

YouTube is one obvious option, especially with unlisted videos.

Imgur might work, but has a habit of trying to make things harder for people who are directly linking.

Catbox.moe has been popular on Lemmy, but is actually blocked in many countries and by some ISPs in others.

There's also the difficult bit of actually getting the video file that you want to upload. Reddit deliberately makes it hard (in fact, it looks like the solution given in that post no longer works), so you might need some third-party tools to end up with both the video and audio in one file. For example: https://rapidsave.com/

lemmy supports video uploads but the experience may vary across instances due to different length and size limits. I think it's also sometimes an issue of processing time when the "wrong" format of uploaded

It's a tiktok video, you can see the watermark with the username of the uploader. From there it's not hard to find the source:

It's limited but still better than new reddit. It lets me download it on mobile in desktop mode, in mobile mode it just want me to download their shitty app.

oh shit, i will edit my link and do this from now on

i didn't even know tiktak could have frontends, i feel like i've been kept epistemologically ignorant of this

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Welcome to Lemmy. With the libredirect addin you can automaticallly redirect to similar frontends on a lot of services: https://libredirect.github.io/

Bibliogram is rate limited frequently, I use https://imginn.com/ for instagram

Can someone please provide a list of addresses of these people for research purposes? This is a serious question. /s

Okay, lady; we get it. You don't have to repeat yourself over and over for over a minute straight. This video could have been 10 seconds long.

(God that was annoying.)

tl;dw the CEO that was killed was the CEO of United Health Care, a subsidiary of United Health Group the parent company (whose CEO is higher in the org chart, but was not killed).

It's for comedic effect. She's only fulfilling a citizen's duty to correct misinformation, nothing else!
