I think you have a pretty big typo at the end of your first paragraph.
But I agree with you, I hate that sub, and I don't understand how people can stomach watching that as entertainment/a passtime. To me just watching videos of people being killed (no matter who they are) inevitably leads to dehumanization. Like, I'm glad Nazis were killed during WW2 but I don't spend my day searching for pictures or videos of dead nazis.
I have a coworker who's Jewish and has absolutely terrible political takes, he seems down this week, but I haven't tried asking why because I am not sure how I will react to his shit. I don't think anyone has mentioned what's going on because everyone at work (tech company) lives in their own little world.
Yeah, Thunder is weird about their swipe to go back gesture. It works if you're doing it over the post itself or if you're scrolling through the comments (so while the comments are moving, swipe to go back).
Could you add a similar behavior to link previews when you long tap a link within text? Or maybe even just showing text with the link itself would be enough (that's my way of previewing links on other apps).
In my experience, just consuming more media is a good way to become more familiar with the facial features that we might not pay enough attention to differentiate between people. When I first started watching Japanese movies, I had a bit of a hard time grasping who was who, but as time went on it became easier.
Equating Nazi symbolism with Soviet ones just feels like such a weird thing to do, there's a reason Nazi symbols are banned in several (if not a majority) of European countries, but is not the case at all when it comes to soviet symbols. I think it's specially disappointing because the image that was originally shared was a reference to the "spectre" line in the communist manifesto. The hammer and sickle symbol has a long history that supersedes the history of the Soviet Union as a state, even my "third-world country" in Latin America (I'm sure you can see in the logs where I'm posting from) has a history of using the symbol for liberatory causes.
I use lemm.ee because the big lib instances have not defederated it (.world, beehaw) and they still federate with hexbear (I also like slrpnk.net and they defederated from hexbear as well).
