I do now and it can piss right off.
Welp, I regrettably checked this out. Much like other folks have said, this is just a platform for hate speech and conspiracy theorists. Do not recommend
I will never go near it and tell everybody I can never to either it because it is basically just a breeding ground for hate. That’s what “no censorship” means pretty much, synonymous with “free speech”.
Also Web 3 bullshit, a constant, never offline unremovable log of everything you ever did? Sounds like a privacy nightmare that doesn’t let you ever escape your mistakes. No thanks.
On the whole hate speech thing, I posted something about Odysee here and someone made some hopeful “if enough people start using it and drowning out the hate speech” kind of comment. IDK if I can find it because I’d need to do a deep dive into my old .ee account, but I don’t believe that things like hate could ever be drowned out on fringe sites like that.
Yeah. I don’t know why so many people are obsessed with LBRY/Odysee except for being allowed to say whatever they want and loving web 3 bullshit. Especially because we already have a better alternative to youtube, it’s called Peertube and is part of the fediverse.
Sure it needs to put a lot more effort into giving users control over their experience but at least there are some server admins that care and do cut us off from Nazis etc and there’s no Web 3 bullshit built in 🙂.
removed by mod
Okay. Have a nice day.
So when you sad entire platform that so many people put efort to build is just a breeding ground for hate thats ok no problem, but when i just sad you are wrong thats ofending and my comment got removed by moderaters…? Realy??
Did you look at the rules and modlog for this instance and this community? It explains pretty clearly that people shouldn’t talk down to other people etc. So I guess so, I had nothing to do with that btw. I didn’t report you etc.
So the likes of The Quartering, Babylon Bee, and JP Sears on the front page don’t bother you?
Edit: Whoops, I somehow missed Stephan fucking Molyneux
Good project/idea, promises of blockchain and free speech attracts may of the wrong people, so I stopped actively using it at some point cause there were only three channels I actually watched (and a lot of alt right/neo nazi/conspiracy shit)
What is wrong with conspiricy theories, we live in conspiricy world my man.
anyone else get suspicious when a post like this comes from an account that was created less than 2 days ago? Idk, FOSS needs devs self-promoting to survive, but i always feel scuzzy when someone sees our community as just a place for promotion and nothing more.
100% agree, and now it is so hard to tell if the spelling oddities are an ESL thing or an LLM thing
Im not sure what those shorts mean but can you imagine that lemmy is forum that use people around the world…? :O And even crazyer not all of them speak english…?! :O Crazy right?? It must be some robot sent to hack us or something…
When you create an account and the only thing you post is about Lbry, and the only posts you comment on are your own, it is suspicious. Reddit is plagued with astroturfing like this, and Lemmy is a reddit-like site. It is not unreasonable to be suspicious of an account like yours. If you want to deflect suspicion, go engage with more communities and comment on more posts.
Well i didnt post only this and didnt speak only about lbry i spoke about diferent topics such as gaming so dont know how did you miss that.
ESL means “English as a Second Language,” so no need to get snarky. LLM means “large language model”. I was complaining generally, not at you, but with other comments you made I am now less sure
Wow so you think im lbry dev now? Thank you, i would love to be one. But the truth is im jus a regular person chating about stuf and exchanging thoughts… Its not like i did anything wrong to post this…
It is an alternative to Youtube built on blockchain technology with no censorship, although users can be de-listed for extremes like child porn, etc. It also monetizes much like Youtube for content creators. I highly support efforts like this. I used it on Linux under Odysee. Youtube is complete censorship, even today content creators have to dance around anything to do with main topics like Covid, Israel and such, for risk of de-monetization or worse, a complete take-down.
The downside to LBRY/Odysee is that the videos/links are not found on search engines, so bad for creators. With no censorship, brings the wild-wild-west, with rumors of neo-nazi content, and such. Still, imo, I would rather filter through that stuff than have a corporation/gov’t tell me what I can and can’t view.
Yea about the filters someone explained that wery well, since its open source you can have diferent aplikacions that will be used to watch videos on lbry. For example we could have lbry kids app that will allow only content for kids. But if we adults want to be able to see all we can use app that doesnt block anything. So its on us to have filter as ve like not on youtube to tell us what we are allowed to see. Because on youtube many people are banned just for spreading the truth. Thats why lbry is created at first place…
Thats a platform for watching videos just like youtube. But it works in a completly diferent way, similar to torrent. Because its goal is to bring content freedom. The problem with youtube is that they directly decide what people can record and what is forbiden. If you make content that youtube doesnt like, first he will hide it so wery small amount of people can see it, second they will demonetise you, and third they will delete your video and your whole channel at the end. Just because you wanted to spread the truth. Thats why lbry is created, they call it content freedom. :)
