The film has now been completely lost, there's no surviving copies. It's pretty crazy that something that important was just allowed to vanish from history.

Seriously asking - why is it 'this important'?
Like a still fresh testimony?

It's perhaps not the most historically important film, but it's importance seem more than the cost would have been of preserving a few prints in different places.

Guess old reddit habits die hard. Love to see someone get down votes for not understanding a joke

Lemmy is more trigger-happy with downvotes in my experience. And way worse at getting jokes and understanding sarcasm. It's pretty interesting actually.

Maybe I may be used to reddit and a little sore because I got banned for being a bot for posting to much. But and hope you are with me that I am not a bot or spamming or whatever.

Maybe you don't get the title perfect every time, but you provide a lot of content that's the sort of stuff I went to reddit for, and I appreciate you!

Don't know if your being sarcastic or what but as a major wikiphile I do my best to educate people hopefully the Mods can see it and not ban me for being overly active or call me spamming or whatever. And I appreciate your input. ....No sarcasm.

Hi there, mod here. I want to acknowledge that you appear to not be a spam bot, just some decent dude who wanted to make some posts.

I appreciate you wanting to contribute. Would you do me a small favor and slow it down a bit? You're getting a lot of reports. I recommend quality over quantity. Take the time to double check your titles. Keep it to like single digits a day for a bit. Avoid reposting topics. Etc.

That'll all go a long way, rest assured.

I wouldn't worry too much about it whatever the case. Between interpreting a comment as one full of positivity VS one that is potentially sarcastic, I would interpret it as a positive comment 100% of the time. I mean, why not? Thanks for sharing!

My instance doesn’t even allow downvotes. That’s like 2 layers of irony lol.
