Reddit does this really shitty thing where they deliberately strip out the audio so you can't just link to a video like this (or easily download the video by just right clicking and pressing download), because what you end up with is a silent video.
yeah, I'm going to need to familiarize myself more with lemmy and voyager to upload actual video. they really drove reddit into the ground making it not play nice with other platforms
Yeah Lemmy doesn't actually support direct video uploading. So you'd need to upload somewhere else and link from there. Like people used to have to upload images to Imgur before linking that to Reddit, before Reddit supported direct images.
YouTube is one obvious option, especially with unlisted videos.
Imgur might work, but has a habit of trying to make things harder for people who are directly linking.
Catbox.moe has been popular on Lemmy, but is actually blocked in many countries and by some ISPs in others.
There's also the difficult bit of actually getting the video file that you want to upload. Reddit deliberately makes it hard (in fact, it looks like the solution given in that post no longer works), so you might need some third-party tools to end up with both the video and audio in one file.

tl;dw the CEO that was killed was the CEO of United Health Care, a subsidiary of United Health Group the parent company (whose CEO is higher in the org chart, but was not killed).
