This crisis has given Lemmy enough users to be a vibrant, viable alternative with the software and apps undergoing rapid development. This means the next time that reddit tries to pull some shit, there will be somewhere for people to go, unlike this time. Lemmy just wasn't really ready for prime time.

This kind of overlaps with my c/reads community. Maybe we should think of combining the communities?

This thread explains the rationale: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3sure8/introducing_rpoliticalvideo/

The end result of this was that all videos that had even a slight connection to politics were removed, and the politicalvideo subreddit never took off.

What do you want to use the server for?

Personally I'd prefer to see politics videos allowed. Back in the early days of reddit, r/videos was full of politics videos with lots of engagement. Finally they sent all that to the r/politicalvideo ghetto to die. I always thought that was too bad.

Hmm I just noticed that the mobile app I'm using (Jerboa) doesn't seem to support the spoiler feature of the editor yet, so be careful.

Yeah looks like Wang isn't there. Benedict Wong is probably Shi Qiang, that seems like a good casting to me.

I really really hope this series also gets to The Dark Forest & Death's End, I loved this book series so much.
