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.
