I remember when the name LBRY changed to Odysee. I thought the name just changed. What’s the difference between LBRY Inc, LBRY, and Odysee?
Comment on The End of LBRY Inc.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion. Here are some key takeaways:
- LBRY Inc is shutting down.
- LBRY (without the Inc) isn’t going anywhere. It’s decentralized, they literally can’t shut it down.
- Odysee isn’t going anywhere either.
- LBRY Inc is apparently being shut down for “violating registration provision in securities laws”, whatever that means. I think they were handling crypto funds in a way that the SEC argued was illegal, and they lost in court.

Lbry inc was the company doing development, lbry is the name of their blockchain they developed, and odysee was a video hosting platform primarily for Nazis (and some nonproblamatic Linux enthusiasts) built on that blockchain.

primarily for Nazis Oh I guess Louis Rossmann and Mental outlaw and others are Nazi’s because they post to the platform/include it in their apps.

They said “primarily”, not “exclusively.”

I said “primarily”, you even included that in your quote. Mental Outlaw is in that subgroup of nonproblematic Linux enthusiasts.
Its actually a bigger problem that the app includes rumble, which is straight up just fascist YouTube.
