On lemmy?

Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)
Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist
I'm a new user and why isn't this more like reddit
I'm pretty okay with capitalism, actually
Here's video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)

Maybe I'm just old school, but I'm two spaces for life. I will die on this fucking hill. If you use tabs after just a couple indents all the code is off screen. I ain't trying to scroll in two dimensions all the time.

Who the fuck uses pluses as bullet points in their markdown!?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do. Why, what do you use?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's the taboo! Boo! How dare you!

+1 for the video issue, or any other "just do [insert a bunch of work here], it's less work than commenting anyways" kinda stuff

+ Here's video without text summary

I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.
Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.

There's just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.
