Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I'm not here to tell anyone what to do but all I know is that walking canes are designed to be sturdy, they have a decent reach, you're allowed to use them, and that nice curved handle serves as a good hook if you ever need to get a hold of something and bring it towards you quickly.

I'm just going to post this emoji here, apropos of nothing...

That's weird, it's working for me - is it still broken for you? I can repost the video and link it to you in a comment if you want.

Still not working.

This is the link as my browser tries to connect to it.

https://files.catbox.moe/qufy2c.mp4

My browser asks me to double-check for a typo.

I've tried to re-up it but it identifies the video file from the hash and it automatically assigns it the same url.

Is it a browser plugin issue or something similar?

I'm seeing it through the app I use and through my phone browser so it feels like it's an issue on your end. I can upload it to a different site or I can screw with the file so it gets a different hash and thus a different url if I re-up it again.

I'm looking at it on a mobile browser. I'll try from my desktop when I get home. Thanks for offering, though!

turns out some countries/ISPs have blocked it because of either copyright, the usual censorship, or lack of moderation.

I've recommended catbox in the past but I'm realizing it might not be the best host for our purposes. It has been blocked in some countries/by some ISPs ( see my comment below ) and technically the auto-embed that hexbear is doing is maybe a violation of their tos? the use is not for profit though so I doubt there's a huge issue/much the owner can do about it besides banning individual users by IP but still

Also worth noting they don't remove exif data

Now I kinda just wish small videos could be uploaded to hexbear. I guess there's tankietube too but that's another can of p2p worms since he turned p2p on by default. there's a way to get a direct link out of peertube that isnt p2p I think but that's not very user friendly
