please yell at me in the replies, i thrive on confrontation

This is like when people insist they're alpha. That is to say, if you have to say it, it's probably not true.

This sentiment is exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm not associated with the moderators anymore than your average user of .world is associated with their's.

My point is, yes I can choose to change instance but why should I? Lemmy is meant to embody the best of us - and yet some of us are creating "us and them" situations.

This sentiment makes me sad.

I chose .ml because it was smaller than .world (and that seemed to be the point of federation) but was also generic (my interests are very varied) and had great uptime, and didn't de-federate or had been de-federated by many instances. Now people say stuff like this and I feel the need to change instances because I don't want people to tar me with that brush (and I have been accused directly multiple times just because of my instances) but I feel conflicted because the whole point of this while thing was that we could be on any instance we liked and it shouldn't impact our "social standing". I'm disappointed in people that they can't judge a person by the content of their character rather than the instance they are on. And alas - I feel it's only a matter of time before I'm forced to change instance because of other people's prejudice.

Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

Oof that's very closed minded of you.

What's that got to do with the question?

It'd also need to be pressed against the mirror I think....?
