Odysee is pretty mixed, but all alternative platforms are going to attract people who were pushed out of mainstream platforms, which biases them toward weird political orientations.
Comment on [Mental Outlaw] YouTube Accidentally Made Ad Blockers More Powerful
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoFor real. I didn’t realize how bad all of the YouTube alternatives are. They are just flooded with neo-nazis and bigots. It just sucks with how we really don’t have much choice other than to use something like newpipe.

YouTube is also that way. It’s just that it gets buried down by the shitload of people who use it.
It could also be that those who want to see Odyssee and others fail, are the ones posting BS.

In my mind it makes sense that the more extreme people tend to gravitate from public circles and tend to land in places that have less moderation and more freedom of speech unfortunately.

There’s a reason speech isn’t 100% free. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is never cool even when it’s Great White, but in our eternal September someone’s always lobbing the fart jokes because for their little mind it’s new and cool.

Eh to degree, but the reason neonazis and bigots seem to flock to/make up a majority of these sites is often because they’re getting banned on YouTube - and these video platforms opt to survive by leaning into that instead of properly moderating their platform.

I think Odysee might eventually moderate blatant white supremacists.
