Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Another recommendation, is it possible to make a pool of videos of the same event? Maybe they'd be displayed in a scroll-sideway fashion, or 'other angles', etc.

This most recent murder - Alex Pretti - there are at least 4 or so different angles captured in video. It would be good to archive them together, and easy to link/see together.

Edit: and thank you!

Yup, I was already thinking about how to implement some sort of folderization for major events, however, I didn't think of side-ways scrolling, but it does sound like a good idea. Thank you for the suggestion! I have my to-do list for the project posted in the community crimes_of_ice (https://lemmy.4d2.org/post/2593953).

Next thing I will do after releasing the first archive to the torrent will most probably be folderization. It will allow me not only to group the angles, but also the protests after incidents, etc. to show the bigger picture of an incident

@crimes_of_ICE@lemmy.4d2.org since this seems to be your website, can i request a feature of embedding your videos? So much more user-friendly to be able to watch them without having to leave the lemmy app. Keep up the good work though!

Thank you!

For embedding, what do you exactly mean? Do you mean embedding it in a post instead of leaving a link to the website? If so, can you please tell me how to do it. I am a relatively new user on lemmy, and I only see the "upload image" button for the body

or is it possible to actually do stuff>?

I'm not sure, for short clips you could upload the video file to lemmy (unless your instance blocks this) and then in the description place a link to an external url. This could be a simple way of resolving it, while simultaneously moving some bandwidth from your servers to the that of your (and other?) lemmy instances.

But that is not what i meant. For some urls or article the client 'grabs' the main image or video where as for others (including your website) it only shows the url in text. I am not technical and do not know how this works, but i don't think the difference is how you create a post on lemmy but on how the page you link to is structured. I myself would ask ai, but i know a lot of people would not.

Got it, thank you. I will look into that, it will definitely make the videos more accessible, since not everyone might want to go on another website while just scrolling.
