Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

That’s odd. It opens in a new browser tab for me. That’s the only way I’ve used catbox. Is there a better way to host it so that doesn’t happen?
Like this:
🤔 maybe it's a Sync for Lemmy issue? This looks like and image, but when I clicked on it, I downloaded the video for a second time. This seems dangerous.
It doesn't render it in a frame to be played? That is weird, and definitely not in-spec with Markdown standard.
This is what happens when I click
Whichever app you're using you should probably file an issue request for that, that isn't supposed to happen.

When I click my link, it plays instead of downloading. WTF
I honestly have no idea. I'm on Android and when I clicked it, it took me to my browser and automatically downloaded it. If it wasn't intentional, I take back the first part of my comment you're replying to. Does catbox have an integrated media player? If it does, maybe it just doesn't work for mobile🤷♂️
Nah. Catbox is free hosting without a front end. Mine just opens in a Safari preview on my iPhone. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look elsewhere for a hosting option.
Your link still has me download it in order to watch it, but this link will play in the browser. Maybe it has to do with the file type?
They both appear to be .mov container, but they may have been encoded with different codecs. I’ll have to compare them on my computer tomorrow. Thanks for the input!
How does this .mp4 work for you?

Works perfectly, no download!
Nice! So it seems like it’s the codec. I’ll look into the different formats of .mov files to see the difference between the first two. Thanks for your help!
No problem, troubleshooting is fun
