So if I post a YouTube link hexbear tells me to use one of the other links, but when I use one of those it says there’s trackers and it’s gonna delete my post in 4.5 hours. What gives

What should I actually do lol

if you remove the tracker your post wont be deleted, (aka if you change your original link by the one the top bot gives you) the botton bot is there just to give options for people that dont want to use youtube
Yeah we really should fix the youtube bot to automatically remove the tracking links lol
- The person who runs it isn't a Hexbear user, or if they are they're inactive. The InsidiousTrackers bot even explains what changes are needed to the code of HexReplyBot to remove the trackers automatically, but it hasn't been incorporated.
  
  Dang
- The new version of Lemmy will do that automatically when we update to it.
  
  Very cool!
