Fuck you reddit 2.0, took you long enough. Thanks though, we'll stop seeing your crap posters pollute our comment section from now on.

90% of people we ban come from world. Very funny that they said they saw a rise of hate speech from our instance though considering the worlders we ban are fucking genocidal maniacs and fascists. You can check the modlog (it's unfortunately federated), we are one of the tamest instances when it comes to banning people and deleting comments/posts.

For any worlder that was based and liked interacting with lemmygrad (you will notice we did not ban good faith participants), I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles πŸ™ƒ

Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

On top of that, for the worlders finally breathing free again now that the scary tankies are away, you think the USSR wasn't communist or whatever. You base that on whatever you've been taught in school. We've read things. We've actually gone beyond whatever our high school teachers said and looked into the USSR for ourselves. If you're not cowards you will debate us about communism and "totalitarian" regimes, we'll wipe the floor with you. Bet you don't even know where the world totalitarian comes from or who coined it without looking it up.

And we retain our perfect track record of not blocking real instances while you further isolate yourselves from anything that might cause you some amount of discomfort. Really good democracy you got going there where wannabe tech bros instance admins decide for you what you're allowed to see, must be those liberal values I hear so much about.

I wish this reply bot also replied with a version stripping out the si parameter from the youtube link. Sometimes I don't mind viewing something on my revanced app account, but the tracking token is a bit too much.

It's using a regular expression to rewrite the URL. The URL isn't actually getting parsed, so I can't choose what's included, it just includes everything. The proxies ignore the token anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Makes sense, but my suggestion was meant along the lines of having a fifth option which is like "youtube but without tracking tokens" because I'm pretty sure youtube tracks who clicked on links shared by whom with that token there, and sometimes I prefer using youtube than invidious. If the link is from youtu.be, you can just drop everything after the ? with the regex.

Problem is if it's from youtube.com, then there's some annoying parsing in the rare case some GET parameter gets passed before the v one, so I understand it'd be a bit of a hassle.

The problem is that would strip out things like the start time, which is also passed in query parameters

Makes sense, yeah. Nevermind then, I already have a habit of parsing it out.

If I ever switch to a more sophisticated templating system, I'll make sure to keep this in mind though :)
