Silent films boomed at the start of film, and quickly got replaced by talkies.

Nowadays people at home are watching a movie, talking to friends, and playing on their phone at the same time. Short format content is often consumed silently. The artform of silent film making is having a resurgence (in 1-5 minute clips)

I’ve browsed coub, tiktok, youtube shorts, instagram reels… all muted while doing something else

The Talkie days are numbered.

    What client are you using? it rendered on the standard lemmy ui for me.

    Thanks for the tip, I’ve added the space between ::: and spoiler and it still looks good to me, hopefully it looks better on your end too

      I’m using jerboa. Not sure why it doesn’t render properly if the space isn’t there. Now it works fine.
