Thanks! I was inspired by your posts about video actually :)

I use ffmpeg or gif2webp, usually aiming for quality settings around 90~95, but sometimes it takes using the default quality settings and fudging around with parameters to get a reasonable filesize. In this case I went with lensdump instead of catbox.moe since it seems to load animated images faster.

Unfortunately we're limited to .gif and .webp animated images instead of actual videos in order for thumbnails to work. If lemmy worked with .avif or .jxl that would be the best of all worlds.

That was Azizi Johari in that legendary poster, though I'd say Frankiiy's channeling more of a Pam Grier vibe here.

Exactly, and only one fucking opinion matters. That of the people affected. Glad we cleared that up, cheers.

Brazilian isn't a race, and Black isn't a nationality. Incredibly, it's even possible to be both. I hope your confusion has been cleared up.

Are you under the impression that race and nationality are equivalent? If you're asking whether the term is considered dehumanizing, that's been answered for you, and if you're asking why, that's been answered as well. In English, racial and ethnic terms are generally used as adjectives, and we don't use adjectives as nouns when referring to groups of people.

It's far more acceptable than "blacks". It also avoids the issue of associating general search terms for groups of people with sexualized contexts as has unfortunately been done to Asian women and others.

Yes, generally referring to groups of people as pluralized adjectives is considered dehumanizing.

Note that Blacks and the Blacks are both considered offensive and should not be used. Black people is the preferred plural form of Black.

[A]im to use Black as an adjective, not a noun. Also, when describing a group, use Black people instead of just “Blacks.”

This is for the exact same reason you would not refer to a singular Black person as "a black". If you still have trouble perceiving the issue, consider how jarring the term "a gay" would seem in print.
