I know it isn’t currently federated, but it seems like a good yt alternative atm.

    In any case, shouldn’t the Internet be a relatively free place to share and have opinions?

    Sure. I draw the line well before crypto scams and Nazi shit and extreme antivax conspiracy theories, though. No, I don’t particularly think that we need to protect peoples’ “freedom” to use public social media servers with gigabytes of free storage when they’re using that “freedom” to upload videos calling for my death on the basis of my ethnicity, and the “freedom” to reach and indoctrinate others on that platform into wanting to kill me too. I don’t see why anybody would offer them a platform, and I certainly don’t see why any decent person would want to use such a platform. I don’t think odyssee has the “freedom” to compel us to want to use it knowing what a shit show it is.

      Do you actively seek this stuff out, or are you perhaps misrepresenting the extent? I browse the Internet everyday and have so for many many years, yet oddly enough I don’t manage to stumble across this type of content I see people complaining about.
