Redgifs appears to be lewd NSFW content only. Do they allow other content?
I will try imgur first
Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don't work well when shared elsewhere.
I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place
the stuff I’ve read indicated that she was actually quite popular, within the context of the country’s incredibly polarized politics.
Bangladesh has a very poor press freedom ranking and people have been persecuted for posting on social media. My impression is that she was despised, or at best tolerated
Having her toppled by a mob like this… while hoping for the best for Bangladesh, I can’t help but feel quite pessimistic for the future of the country. For one thing, there’s the distinct possibility that this is a military coup disguised as a popular insurrection. Hope that’s not the case.
I would come to the same conclusion if I had not followed this for the past dew weeks. It sounds like a coup from the headline.
I'm cautiously optimistic. The country has a chance for the first time in decades to establish a proper democracy, weed out corruption, and restore press freedoms. Anything can happen in a power vacuum, but I remain hopeful.
Thank you
The resignation was a few hours ago. I would assume that the deaths this article talks about are those from before.
However there is currently a power vacuum and there is a risk of further violence. Many innocent people were killed, and those people might not be happy with the previous government "getting away"
I hope the country finds peace, and finally experiences a proper democracy
I've been following it for a few weeks, it was a snowball effect.
-
The original protest was met with mockery and ignorance where Hasina called the protestors "rajakars", which refers to the people who aided Pakistan during the genocide in the 70s. That caused even bigger protests.
-
The government's youth wing/league, likened to a gang or terrorist group, violently beat protestors and killed some. In the chaos, police fired on protestors, drove cars through rickshaws, and started showing up to homes in plainclothes at night arresting students. More happened but this is what I saw videos of. Many more were killed during this time. To slow the spread of news about this, the government shut down the internet. At this point the people wanted her out of power.
-
Further growing protests were met with more violence, a curfew, and a shoot on sight order. The youth wing attacked people on the street and police fired at people outside. People were shot at even when standing by the windows or on the rooftops.
All of thus culminated in people flooding to the capital, filling the city centres and Hasina fleeing the country.
While its very likely that opposition party members supported the protests, too much happened for it to be entirely manufactured.
Where should I upload short videos to post them to Lemmy?
YouTube does not feel appropriate since it is not my content.
It does, maybe that was the original joke and OP made an error when providing context
also done, thanks! Change any settings as you see fit
Thank you, you're now a mod.
In addition, I hope you, your family, and everyone else in the country stay safe as the latest events unfold!
This is common across all cultures, the youth are always called "disrespectful" relative to the older generation.
Access to global media may have caused a more drastic change in some regions

This happened 30 minutes ago and details may change rapidly over the next few hours. See the link above. I'm not in Bangladesh. I hear that people in the country are relieved, and cautiously optimistic.
Key points:
- PM has resigned
- local media reports she fled the country
- protestors stormed her compound
- interim government is being created
Statement by Chief of Army Staff
- representatives from all major parties were present in discussions for interim government
- army will begin investigations on all deaths and crimes during the protest. This should include the extrajudicial killings
Concerns
- fear of violence against the supporters of the ruling party
All the latest updates about the protests in Bangladesh.

Thank you, can you make a post or comment in the community so I can add you?
I see, we can focus on the community then and push for an instance if it becomes more appropriate in the future

Bangladesh is observing a day of mourning in memory of more than 200 people killed in recent weeks during violence that evolved from student protests over a quota system that reserved 30% of government jobs for war veterans.

Bangladesh: Can student uprising bring new, young leaders?
The protests against job quotas has rocked Bangladesh and the government of veteran PM Sheikh Hasina. Experts say the movement could signal a new era for Bangladesh politics.

Thanks for the help. I'm not currently in the country unfortunately. I spoke with someone who is self hosting in Bangladesh, and I will suggest an instance like that. I suppose that it is more difficult to set up a server in Bangladesh, so it is a long term goal. In the meantime, this can be a backup to the reddit one
I made a post here if needed
I am curious too. It has been hard to get much information out between the internet shutdown, the language barrier, and the lack of press freedoms. I will post a link if I find anything!
Excellent answer!
Does someone have a good guide? The guides I find are a few years old. I will relay this to them in the meantime
Requesting c/Bangladesh, it has no mods currently
I want to create a space for r/Bangladesh. The government in the country has shut down the internet and I want to make decentralized options more accessible for them. I plan to see if the moderators want to join here too. If a good community forms, I am happy to hand off the moderator role.
What self-hosted services can help during a crisis or emergency? This is for those affected OR those who want to help
This was posted on the other site. It can be found below on this post.
They talk about how even Jellyfin & Jitsi were valuable for dealing with government's actions in shutting down the internet. Does anything else come to mind? In addition to giving advice, can we host anything to help people in this kind of situation?
> Suddenly our Self Hosted application became more than just hobby.
> If you already don't know, Bangladesh was disconnected from the internet for majority of the last week due to government order. It was shut down without any warning. We were put under curfew 24/7, so no leaving home. > > On the second day of curfew, me, with nothing to do, figured the intranet in our country still worked. So I opened my Jellyfin service up and gave access to my immediate family and friends. Then we had people stepping up. One opened a simple chat application. Believe me, I never felt happier reading messages from a bunch of random people on the internet. Once people started communicating it only got better. We had a jitsi meet up and running within a few hours. People opened up their media library. Last couple of days, I almost didn't miss the traditional internet. > > I have to thank you guys for all the encouragement. Also I do have a few questions for you guys. > > I'm fearing this will not be the last time we will be blocked from the world. What can we do to make things even better next time?
