Btw Admiral Patrick has embedded Loops videos at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social. It's a full embed of the video, though not full integration of Loops as you were saying - e.g. there's no heart icon or comments, though he keeps adding more features to the embed like metadata display. Cool! ๐
You both are awesome and I'm glad to have you help the entire Fediverse with your activities here!:-)
From Firefox and Chrome, even where the OP does not (outside of Tesseract I mean), yes!:-)
You deserve an explanation as to why your cross-post of this was removed from !AskUSA@Discuss.Online: that instance has higher standards (though not quite Beehaw level) and we try to keep things "welcoming", thus we made our top community rule #1 to "be nice". And I felt that coming out swinging calling the whole country a "hellhole" went against that rule. I see that that is the top rule in this community as well, but I suppose there are differences in interpretation as to what that means.
Options from here: You may appeal to the head mod @m_f@discuss.online if you wish, as it does not strictly violate the rules of Discuss.Online itself. And/or you could re-phrase the title. Or you could even make a post asking for clarification of the rules/expectations - although note that this was already done recently and by far people seemed to express distaste for all the politics stuff, so we try to direct that to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. I've posted there myself in the last week, almost made another post there yesterday as well, and I highly recommend that community for things such as this. In fact, their sidebar text says that they love such self-posts of commentary, as opposed to like "news", and even "discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!"
So I get that you wanted to vent and discuss, and there absolutely are places to do that, I just wanted to protect the members of that community in particular from being constantly barraged with politics, bc as you seem to agree, dayum that shit gets old fast - it becomes overwhelming to so many of us to see all the BS that goes down almost daily now:-(. And maybe that's one way that we can deal, by placing limits on how often we have to think about it each day:-).
I love Josh Johnson! I hope to see him behind the chair in TDS soon.
Bc it's so far past that it has become its own thing. Like there's "mental illness", and then there's "Florida"!:-P
Profits.
It used to still be a worthwhile investment though. These days... it can be, but it's not guaranteed. You also can learn most things online for free, so what is it even getting for you, really?
Connections.
But that only if you are willing to push for them, and so many kids are only there purely bc their parents send them, like an extended daycare or continuation of high school. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile, but it requires a VERY serious commitment, and so many people are not willing to live up to that.

You are very welcome. I hope you didn't feel like we were excluding you, just trying to shuffle two others of us around in the list.:-)
Update a week later: the joke is on you bc it is now twice that! (1.92k/week)
Maybe that's why PieFed is a whole day behind in federating this content:-(. A small price to pay for awesomeness ๐.
Nothing at all - you are already back in the list of mods:-). Sorry to worry you, we were just following old advice to transfer "head mod" status from myself to m_f.
It's a schism...
Facts do not matter so much to those on the Alt-~~Right~~ Left, only getting their way, like a toddler claiming "victory".
What's even better is how their right to speak is our right to STFU and listen, regardless of our consent.
I came here to get away from Reddit. Now will I find out that we are the Alt-Reddit?
