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

I could see why they wouldn’t want to play whack-a-mole tho, if they were concerned other users would post similar content

I personally agree but racist content is awful. Can’t fault anyone for defederating because of it.

If this instance behaved itself a lil bit more, we wouldn’t be having these issues.

lol yeah that’s fair

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

I enjoy teaching a man to fish a lil bit more…is the best you want to use on YouTube, or SoundCloud? If it’s on SoundCloud, you might want to try using Klickaud to download it, and if it’s on YouTube, you can try using YouTube-DL

Bandlab is the most popular one, although it doesn’t have any beats, you’d have to download one yourself.

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.
