Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Yeah. I posted a video showing a pretty detailed critique of Lindybeige, I think you are correct and he's just sort of the "pub expert" on things but not qualified to be authoritative.
Oh, you did? The only links I can find from you are his fire-arrow one and a link to the !nerd_streams@ibbit.at community. Sorry if I missed something elsewhere.

It was way up outside of the thread, easy to miss.
Oh right! I've actually seen that already, lol. I think it got passed around in my HEMA groups. Does seem a little unfair to lump Lloyd in with the likes of Shad and Metatron, who are both out and proud members of the "anti-woke" alt-right and bordering on Nazis, but on the whole the video does paint him quite fairly, in my view.
Yeah. And the guy does say that he's clearly the best of the bunch. I don't actually feel like we need to seize on anything that looks vaguely like misogyny and use it as a reason to beat someone over the head with until their opinions are Fully Correct, but the criticism of his history is 100% on point and pretty damning TBH.
