It stops them from automatically playing in most cases (though there is a bit of an arms race there just like with ad blockers), but it doesn’t stop the video container from floating. And some sites start the video when you click to close the floater, then you have to scroll back up to shut up the video, and some interpret scrolling up to video as “oh I want it to float again”, so you need to close it a second time.
I don’t know if any exist. They are technically possible, but it would just be another arms race because a blocker would need to use names or patterns to detect those floating boxes, but there’s infinite different ways they can be named or implemented.
Yeah I saw you guys arguing in the other post. Regardless of who was in the wrong in that argument, threatening mod action on someone you disagree with is such a Reddit move - I’m pretty sure a lot of people came here to escape that kind of bullshit power trip.
I didn’t see it, but I agree. The job of a mod is to enforce the rules of the community. Rules should be well thought out and boundaries distinct. For instance, no porn. Any rules without well defined boundaries are difficult to enforce and lead to power trips. Ideally, nebulous rules would require mod consensus, if these types of rules must exist to begin with.
You made me look this up in the modlog and wow are you twisting what happened. That’s not “speaking up against zionist genocide” but pure unfiltered antisemitism.
This might not be super popular, but here goes nothing:
Not all opinions are equal. Just because time and space is given equally to different views doesn’t mean one isn’t right over the other. I encourage you to read and listen to people on both sides of a conflict or topic. Look up what they are talking about on a website or source that is impartial (Conservative media is not the best option for fact finding, but neither are ‘tankie’ style sources. Think research papers, news outlets outside of the area where the topic is most prevalent).
If a narrative or piece of media is using terminology to make one side seem completely evil or bad, chances are it may not be the most unbiased source. Terms like fascist, communist, nazi, terrorist, antifa, woke, BLM, etc. are used a lot as buzzwords to dehumanize and incite people to one side or the other (not always true, but good to look closer at the information presented). If a story makes it so you are the hero by denouncing something, disliking an idea/peple/person/belief, be cautious, chances are it is an emotional ploy to get you to side one way or the other despite factual evidence.
At the end of the day, it is up to each of us to act responsibly with what we put out into the world based on our opinions and understanding. Every single person involved in things like the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is a human being and is going through something much more complicated than most of us will ever have to experience personally. Treat people like people, show respect when due, and be sensitive to the chaos and pain someone might be living through. We need less hate in the world, not more.
I say all this to say, your ideas are currently full of animosity and hate. They are not valid and should rightly be removed from the discussion until you can communicate them more effectively and less emotionally. Intolerance cannot be tolerated if we want to have a better world for each and every one of us.
There does seem to be a significant German contingent on Lemmy, as there was on Reddit. I have a very in-my-head Reddit moment I need to share.
Remember when “The Nations of the World brought to you by Yakko Warner” was a meme and people were making all kinds of permutations of it? I saw one that was like “the nations of the world if Germany won WWII” which was basically “Germany Germany Germany Germany Portugal Spain, Spain, Germany, Germany…”
On the most recent r/place I remember, the Germans had a habit of taking their tricolor flag all the way across the canvas, which made me think “Germany Germany Germany Germany” in Yakko Warner’s voice.
c/coolstorybro@sh.itjust.works or however Lemmy links work I still don’t know.
