EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
Im sure there’d be a huge market for Lemmy if you just told people “do you want Reddit without ads or conservatives?”
Reddit is overwhelmingly left. Get a grip.
Reddit is overwhelmingly liberal. Which is not left. Read a book.
Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages…
I am far from elitist in most anything I do or say. I try to be inclusive when introducing others to a topic, offer information freely and at any pace they can accept it, and generally enjoy the most mundane parts of life so long as they’re done in a healthy way. I say all of that to preface the fact that I cannot tolerate most users on YouTube. They’re, by and large, just awful.
I do agree with your idea, but it physically hurts me to envision lemmy with YouTube comments.
