It isn't exclusively a Neo-Nazi platform, but it is a free-speech absolutist platform, so they have absolutely no problem platforming Nazis.
It's basically the 4chan of tube sites. All are welcome, but if you aren't a fascist you probably won't fit in.
something something if there's a nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 nazis
That logic would make you a communist at Lemmy.
I don't really think that's true, so long as you stay off the tankie instance. I have it blocked.
Well, LBRY which odysee is a frontend for is decentralized, so you can host your own odysee-like instance and block content on there almost the same way as you can host one here and defederate. So it's not that different from Lemmy. It is all decentralized after all.
If one Nazi is allowed into a bar, it’s a Nazi bar. I’ll continue to steer clear.
I ain't a fascist, Neo-Nazi, far-rightist, or any of the things Odysee is falsely marked by people as being, and I fit in just fine with my fellow Odysee users. Stop attacking one of the only companies who are truly trying to be the change they want to see in the world.
please. If you're going to spew this droll bullshit at least be aware that receipts exist.
so lets dive in shall we?
Odysee was built on the back of LBRY another typical crypto scam bullshit that was broke. couldn't even pay a 100k lawsuit against them when the SEC took them to court and they went bust. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/16/lbry-closes-odysee-cryptocurrency-tech-sec-fraud-extremist
Also you say you're not a nazi but hey your platform of choice sure does love em! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/14/odysee-video-platform-nazi-content-not-grounds-for-removal
They're also anti physically and mentally disabled: https://www.dailycal.org/archives/lbry-public-sharing-platform-uploads-20-000-deleted-uc-berkeley-lectures/article_14cffebb-7495-5bea-93f9-ae49d03fcf7a.html thy reuploaded 20,000 lecture videos that were deemed illegal by the US Department of Justice for violating the American Disabilities Act. So they don't care about deaf people. cool.
They also don't moderate shit: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/26/technology/big-tech-power-bitcoin.html They say they'll allow anything other then porn and calls to violence and terrorism buuuuuut they allow porn, calls to violence, and terrorism. Hell just checking out the "lifestyle" section you'll see that what they state they'll moderate just isn't true.
Banned users from other platforms are welcome with open arms on Odysee: https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2021-04-19/from-cooking-videos-to-qanon-n-h-based-video-platform-attracts-users-banned-elsewhere you know, People banned for good reason.
If you allow a nazi to drink in your bar, even if it's just one, you're a nazi bar.
cause, you know, the Global Network on Extremism and Terrorism called it "The New Youtube for the Far-Right" https://gnet-research.org/2021/02/17/odysee-the-new-youtube-for-the-far-right/
So you saying you're not a facist, neo-nazi, or any of that is funny considering you SURE DO love hanging out with them.
"When someone tells you who they are, believe them."
Nothing about the LBRY token was a scam. You just hate cryptocurrency. Who needs literally the only form of decentralized online currency, right?
That's how bans work. You are not supposed to be banned on platforms where you haven't violated any rules. Getting banned on YouTube for saying something controversial on Twitter is not right.
"If you allow a nazi to drink in your bar, even if it's just one, you're a nazi bar." Is such a shit take, considering you're at a communist bar.
I agree with most of your points, but "anti physically and mentally disabled"? Really? Your source describes how they reuploaded unsubtitled lectures for the sake of preservation. This is hardly a villanous move and has nothing to do with "not caring about deaf people". Let's keep the arguments honest, you have plenty else to stick them with that's actually substantial.
Even the rest just boils down to "these people say that they're nazis, so it must be true" and "nazis are bad. If you give them fair treatment, you're one yourself."
And when it comes to these nazis/white supremacists, I am willing to bet what labelled them as such was criticizing some DEI, or maybe complaining about "wokeness" which is far from the Heiling skinhead that people associate with nazis.
It is so hard to trust a single word of anyone nowadays that describes people as nazis. I'd be fine with taking back this statement if the actual videos/posts/whatever from the so called nazis were posted here so that I could see for myself, rather than what some traditional news media has to say about them.
I was posting in another subthread about this too. The front page on Odysee had some conservatives videos, and one crazy 5d energy conspiracy video, but none of the videos brought up were far-right or white supremacist, but they sure were circled and pointed out as such.
To be honest, I've been using the website and I notice nothing of this. I can click a few links and get to said content, yes, but my feed and some of the categories I check are on par with YouTube. The only big difference I experience is that there's much more content of smaller content creators.
