Do not use Odysee. It is run by Nazis and I don't mean Nazi by Lemmy standards I mean Nazi as in hating Jews. Half the comments people calling you a Jew in a derogatory sense. It is a safe haven for people who actively target anyone that is not white and strict southern Christian.
You are correct, and thankfully peertube exists and is currently not full of nazis (at least from the instances I've checked). Their federation model seems to be opt in instead of opt out though, so it's hard to actually find content, unfortunately.
The most populated instance I've found is https://tilvids.com/, which has a bunch of educational and tech videos.
I worked for LBRY before Odysee spin off. Worst culture from the C-Suite you could ever imagine. Autistic sociopathy is the only way to describe it.
That sucks to hear, at one point I was really hoping it would become a viable yt alternative. Not that I ever expected their cryptocurrency to "moon" but it was at least an interesting idea to compensate people for seeding video.
It should have. This is why I joined, and in fact there’s no technology reason why it shouldn’t have. The CEO et al simply did not understand that the content creator was their customer and viewed them, somehow, with disdain—despite being anti IP anarchist types, they were oxymoronic when it came to understanding who they needed to serve.
I think the best way for it to live on is as a software fork / side chain to BTC/BCH. Or you could refactor it completely against Celestia. Ethereum it wouldn’t work because the data shards demand too much and would cause L1 fee spikes.
oh wow, yeah. This stuff doesn't look well for the people running that site.

I comment all the time there and read comments all the time. I never see any commenters attacked for being Jews ever. Look, that's not to say that Jew haters aren't on the platform, and I find it very annoying that they seem to be brigading the platform in the comment space, but the place certainly ain't run by Nazi's. It's just unfortunate that people like that have to ruin the reputation of the platform and turn people off from it. The comments seem far less moderated than the videos of the platform, because remember that moderation on the Odysee front-end does exist. I'm mostly saying this for the reader, since you probably already know this, but here is one example from the community guidelines:
So you certainly can't argue that Odysee allows this content on the platform. I've only once (one time too many, though!) seen someone actually directly promote violence. I slimed it (disliked), reported it, and told other people to do the same (sliming it enough hides the comment like a spoiler), and the other viewers did so. That's the first time I've ever done that, but if you saw what he was promoting, you would probably think he should go to a mental ward. Thankfully, people did slime it, and it became hidden, before eventually being removed by the site moderators.
Yeah I deleted my account instantly once I noticed how toxic it is.
