The ability to upload video clips that’s coming in Lemmy 0.2 will bring more activity to Lemmy (reddthat.com)

I noticed the new betas have the ability to upload video clips. I think this has been a huge missing feature that Reddit and other social media platforms have

I hate videos

I disagree with you, but I think you are being unfairly downvoted.

Hope there will be a killswitch in the settings.

Giving users more control to filter the types of content they see is almost always a good feature.

With hating videos I mean low-effort spammy crap. It's a decent format to explain certain technical aspects, but nowadays for every one good video, there's 20 bad ones, and I'd rather not have my feed flooded with crap.

If I want to watch stuff, I'll go to youtube or other platform. Lemmy is just a totally different use case for me, and I'd prefer to keep the two separated.

Just like I can't understand how people are using Lemmy for porn, but I guess from the sheer amount posted, there must be an audience. So I just hope I can fully opt out.
