How bout Odysee?
- People using it (not that many, but there's a sizable community)
- Decent recommendation algorithm (okay )
- Decent moderation (part of the whole appeal is "free speech", but it's pretty toned down compared to some others)
It's pretty okay on all fronts, but not the best. Still something to check out though!
- Seirdy 5y agoUnfortunately it uses cryptocurrency/blockchain nonsense. A better alternative is PeerTube, which is part of the Fediverse; people can share videos, comment, and post across Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and others seamlessly. Plus, you can pick (or host!) an instance that agrees with your moderation preferences, and block instances that don't (e.g. alt-right and troll havens). The distributed/federated approach to moderation and hosting scales well with a limited budget.
- kilodeca 5y agoIt would be nice if Peertube wasn't developed using Nodejs.
- skinkestek 5y agoWhy does it matter (unless you think about contributing to the codebase). I'm a vocal opponent of unnecessary Javascript (TypeScript is fine) but I never care what other people use for their backend.
- devetec 5y agoIt's not nonsense, it works. But yeah, PeerTube is a good alternative too!
- devetec 5y agoHowever, discoverability and ease of use are always factors. With Odysee, you just use it like YouTube, not much is different.
- st1ck 5y agoI haven't figured out how I can upload videos to Odysee without buying LBRY (which is also not that trivial). I guess the easiest way is to ask someone to donate me some, but I don't know anyone on LBRY well enough for this.
