The widespread gently-spoken implicit celebration of genocide (and further depraved violence against civilians of the region) is sickening.
But don’t be upset, you’ll make someone feel unsafe. /s


The trouble in Australia with the Fairphone models is that some/all networks are blocking them due to a perceived/actual risk they may not work reliably on Australian networks, and Fairphone has not done what the networks demand for that approval.

I reckon posts linking to your self-hosted videos would work if they had an embedded video – if your instance set the <meta property="og:video ..."\> tags appropriately.
Also possible to make posts on your own instance which automatically federate to lemmy communities, as in this example which originates from a mastodon instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/41288461

Peertube is federated and self-hostable.
Even better, posts linking to peertube videos get an embedded video in the post:
