I use it for my microbe videos. I really just do basic editing and color grading. I like it a lot. You can look at my post history if ya wanna see the videos.

Nice to see a pro Biden article on conservative

Haha sorta yeah. They're called Koans and imo are more similar to a Zen master hitting you in the head and shouting at you. They are a bit of a spicy subject, many Chan Zen Masters feel folks spend too much time with them.

Certain Soto Zen methods for sure. Chan Zen criticizes the idea that trying to cut off the senses helps people to enlightenment.

I think we're pretty nice. Though I can get a little hot sometimes I think we all try to keep in mind we are talking to real humans (most of the time lol).

My girlfriends phone was having issues connecting to self hosted servers, so I set her DNS from private to network default. Hope this helps any android users that may have issues.

Fair, reddit could probably try a Mac address ban and slowly actually ban you from the whole site. Lemmy is too decentralized to do that effectively.

What does worked mean? Usually gotcha questions don't convice people from my experience.

I want good sources. Reddit is a lot of hear say. Its not about political leaning its about provability. At least for me.

Edit: also a lot of folks came here because they were mad at reddit. They may still be mad lol. I get why Lemmy would end up anti-reddit.

Yeah I'm starting to get the idea. I think the fediverse will regulate you healthily. I am not confident a fediverse ban is doable, you'd have to know a lot of the right people to do that one and it still wouldn't be complete. If that does happen I'll agree that it's too far.

Impersonation is something I'm gonna have to think about for a bit. That's a curious one. If there is no sense of authenticity then voice scales with resources and that gets sticky.

Oof yeah, with folks copying you this can become a pretty complicated issue. It's touching on some pretty fundamental design choices of Lemmy.

I can go super left and say the name "universal monk" belongs to the people and as much as ya want to control it that's not your right. Without regulation though that would also mean names end up a power issue and that kinda sucks. Anyone with more resources taking over your name is lame. Kinda the what happened with the word "woke".

Idk what to say at this point cause its hard to be confident my memory of you is you. If ya want to control your image you may need to rebrand and start over.

I could see it as spam depending. Like in the past you've said I'm debating to hard in the replies, and you didn't engage much with my arguments.

It's not necessarily radical and horible to me, just a lot for content I disagree with that I can't reason with. It's annoying that I have to see it yet you won't listen. I will probably block you, but I also get why an instance would want to as well. It's not inviting for new users.
