Focused on “free speech”?

When I see that used multiple times by a platform operator it invariably means they’re right-wing wingnuts and/or the platform will devolve into right wing drivel while silencing dissent.

Most such attempts fail when not enough people subscribe to paying tiers. Good luck to them nevertheless, I hope they succeed.

Is this not a neo-Nazi/far right platform? I only ever see them linking antivax and evropa content on Odysee. That’s where I’ve heard of it.

I used to like Odysee until I saw them clearly promote conspiracy theories and far-right, almost Nazi rhetoric on the homepage.

Guys, just because the backbone of your site is decentralized doesn't mean your centralized frontend can't be modified by you.

They never even made a single attempt to help others develop alternative frontends too, so the decentralization there was more akin to decentralization theater.

I think that Chandra has a point - media platforms do often devolve into ad companies, once they rely on advertisement money to survive. Because once someone is paying for a platform's continued existence, they can dictate the terms, by simply threatening to stop paying for it.

And, granted, Odysee is a Nazi and crypto bro haven, but the point still stands - let us not be fools saying "Hitler ate bread so bread bad", and ignore a message that also applies to environments that [correctly] tell the Nazi to fuck off.

Good luck to them

Sure looks full of MAGA garbage. Conceptually it's a good idea, but I'll be passing since I don't need that trash in my life.

Isn't this the crypto bro, far right haven site? No thanks.

focused on free speech

Is this like…an actual commitment to free speech, or is “freeze peach” I.e. the right claiming they are being silenced online with no evidence and demanding they never be held accountable for what they say?

1. Install watch on odysee extension.
2. Make a odysee account
3. Continue your normal habits of watching YouTube but being redirected to odysee when creators have posted there.
4. hurt YouTube just a little bit.

I’m so sick of hearing that odysee is only a nazi crypto scam. That content exists on every platform but by shitting all over every option that comes out and then whining when YouTube does more anti user crap is just ridiculous.

You don't need to just use odysee. You can use YouTube for your recommendations then be redirected for the content. Eventually when recommendations are there it will be an easy transition for the majority of people but until then, at the very least don’t step on the face of a working competitor that has good intentions.

P.s. You don’t need to use the token, it was mostly just given to viewers and creators for free.

TIL Odysee had ads. UBO FTW

Edit; tbf, I haven't been on it in a long long while. Generally too extremist for me.

Honestly, after all the shit YouTube is pulling with their ad systems, I wouldn't mind those old tiny banner strip ads that used to occasionally pop up at the bottom of a video. Compared to the current standard of 3 minutes of unskippable ads interrupting every other video, those little banners are downright unobtrusive.

Not familiar with Odysse, how's they're content moderation? We don't need another fascist platform.

"free-speech" ❌ "you can say shit uncontrolably" ✅

Nice, but the platform we need more is Peertube

It's depressing that bleating "free speech" has become a shibboleth, betraying the speaker's tedious far right contrarianism and a wish to express it without consequence. Racists, Nazis, x-phobes, bigots of all stripes; these are your target audience when your primary objective for your platform is supposedly "free speech", especially when it's in opposition to the censorship of your users' bigotry on other platforms. I wish it weren't so, but it fucking is, 100% of the time.

It's like on reddit, when you discover a splinter sub called r/FunSubReborn or something, where they post the same content as r/FunSub, but in this "reborn" sub you can also be an unmitigated cunt in the comments and make racist or phobic remarks without getting banned.

Tedious, tiresome, clueless wankers.

And how will they support themselves? Another crypto scheme to battle out with SEC?
