What is the ideal number of seconds to refresh Saidit, to minimize bandwidth and yet still avoid Cloudflare's blockade?

To answer your question, it should refresh at the expiration of the cookie "cf_clearance" + 5 minutes, which is when the cloudflare pass expires.

In any case the fact that these kind of workarounds are required is fucking retarded.

YouTube is making it nearly impossible to download videos. With an updated yt-dlp, the video file would seem to begin downloading, but freeze at 1% complete.

There seems to be a problem with the default format yt-dlp chooses to download for this particular video. You can download a low-res version using this command:

yt-dlp.exe -f 17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FUS1259dHM

If you want a better resolution you'll need to download ffmpeg and run this command:

yt-dlp.exe -f 231+140 --ffmpeg-location "c:\ffmpeg" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FUS1259dHM

Replace c:\ffmpeg with the folder path where the ffmpeg program is located.

Apparently this is the case. I've always thought of shadowbaning as being added to a sitewide blacklist by reddit itself or maybe getting your comments deleted by a rule from automoderator that targets a specific user since it's a special bot that pre filters everything before it even shows up in the API a regular bot would use. Honestly I didn't even know this old branch of reddit had automoderator.

Funny enough Denmark was one of the countries with less restrictions in Europe during the pandemic and one of the first to finally admit that the virus wasn't going away and people would have to learn to live with it. Even during early 2022 when they had a huge spike in cases you could still go out and live your life.

It only took them 2-1/2 years to find a safety signal from the jab in Germany, and they wonder why the designated body couldn't see it by kingsmeg in WayOfTheBern

[–]0_0 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Some highlights (emphasis mine):

During periods when many persons were vaccinated, excess mortality seems to have increased more strongly compared to the same periods in the previous pandemic year. During the first and second vaccination periods in spring and summer 2021, an increase in cumulative excess mortality is observed, while the year before a decrease was observed. During the period of the third vaccination, parallel to the increase in vaccinations, an increase in cumulative excess mortality can be observed that starts earlier than in the year before. And in 2022, when large parts of the population have been vaccinated, the cumulative number of excess deaths showed a further increase, which even exceeds the previous pandemic year without vaccinations. There seem to be negative long-term effects either of the SARS-CoV-2 infections, COVID-19 measures, the COVID-19 vaccination, or most probably a combination of these.

...

Inspecting the numbers of vaccinations and excess deaths per month confirms the above impression: Other than in the year before, during the months with a high number of the first, second, and third vaccinations, also a high number of excess deaths was observed.

...

Given the temporal relationship between the increase in vaccinations and excess mortality, it seems surprising that a respective safety signal has not been detected in the pharmacovigilance by the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI), which is responsible for the safety monitoring of drugs in Germany. A closer inspection of the methods used by the PEI to monitor possibly deadly side effects of the COVID-19 vaccinations [29] reveals that a flawed safety analysis is used that will not indicate a safety signal even if a vaccine causes extremely large numbers of unexpected deaths.

Here's the thing, you're trying to attract reddit users but most of them want a safe space echo chamber to validate their views and ban anyone who disagrees. Saidit on the other hand has rules to prevent that. That's what drives them away and I'm OK with that.

Look at lemmy. Not even two weeks have passed since this shitshow began and they're already fragmenting the community with beehaw's admin defederating the biggest instance lemmy.world and also sh.itjust.works. This idiot has been a user for a week and he's already asking for sh.itjust.works to defederate exploding-heads.com because he doesn't like their views. I've seen users buried with downvotes for expressing their views just like in reddit.

I'm fine with growing the community, but I don't want to give up free speech to achieve it.

I would understand that if the ads were shoved down people's throats on tv or through google ads but this is a tiktoker we are talking about, you have to go out of your way to watch this promotion. Why are people against trans people watching a trans person's videos on tiktok?

Boycotting a beer for paying a trans influencer to promote it is in the same level of stupidity as the cancel culture from the extreme left.

Halle Berry isn't even Caribbean

You mean Halle Bailey.

At the end of the day Disney only cares about money and the only way they'll stop making these poor remakes is if people stop watching them.

Yeah, but Oppenheimer has that quote 'now I am become death' to end the movie along the Inception sound.

That's not the only type of censorship over reddit. There's also shadowbans, both for comments and votes. I wonder how many people know that votes aren't counted unless the user has gained certain amount of karma in that sub? There must be hundred of thousands of votes discarded every day from users that did nothing wrong.

The short answer is that Reddit's model for free speech discussion doesn't scale. It worked great when it had a small user base but nowadays a combination of platform design and Admin decisions rendered the place a complete echo chamber.

Somewhere along the line the downvote button went from being a useful tool for subs to automoderate by filtering spam and off-topic comments to silence any opinion that was even remotely contrary to the user base current sensitivities.

This created a vicious cycle where users from progressive and left ideology silenced well thought out comments from the other side, which in turn discouraged interesting well put together comments from the right, which in turn pushed the user base even more to the left, including power mods, which in turn discouraged comments from the center, which turned the user base and power mods to the extreme left that it is now.

During all this Admins not only didn't do anything to stop it, they actively made decisions to fuel the vicious cycle, like banning subs they explicitly said wouldn't ban because of a strike from the mods instead of sticking to their guns, showing that, indeed, the mods own the place now.
