So, given AI is destroying YT, if you’re any sort of a creator at all, even if you just have some random posts from years ago that you uploaded with no intention of getting popular, you really should move your stuff to PeerTube, ideally on a self-hosted instance if you have the hardware to spare, while you still can, because things are only going to get worse for YT.
Even Odysee is a decent alternative if you want more traction, but PeerTube is more ideal as an alternative platform due to having the ability to self-host an instance there and have complete control of your content and presence down to owning the infrastructure you’re posting on.
Odysee is not decent in any way, unless you’re comfortable hanging out in a Nazi bar
I disagree with the applicability of that metaphor to infrastructure entirely. It’s not a community you’re participating in, it’s a tool. Abandoning that tool to the worst of us to prove you’re not one of them is self defeating.
Not in defense of LBRY/Odysee but it’s difficult for any unmoderated platform to be not overrun by nazis these days.
LBRY started with a decent premise but their monetization idea was based on cryptocurrency, so it was doomed from the beginning.
On distributed/federated platforms the best we can do is to de-federate from such instances.
they knew it was gonna turn into a cesspool, they just abdicated responsibility by playing the free speech card. ironically kinda like YouTube does with anti-trans stuff and Zionist media
