I know it isn't currently federated, but it seems like a good yt alternative atm.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wasn't it a basically unmoderated platform and therefore full of Nazis, science deniers and other social scum that got banned on youtube?
If we're talking about alternatives to YouTube, should the bar for "quality" users really be those who haven't yet been banned from YouTube? Does it really matter? If you can choose what you look at, subscribe to, etc. I'm not sure I fully understand the fear, or your point as to those users being on the platform as well?
You don't understand why a breeding ground where nazis can share conspiracy theories with other nazis and also reach susceptible idiots and children with their naziism might not be a good place where we all want to spend a bunch of time?
You're saying nazi a lot, what does that actually mean? I'm not familiar with these so-called conspiracy theories, perhaps I don't run in the correct online circles. In any case, shouldn't the Internet be a relatively free place to share and have opinions? You seem to have carte blanche to speak your mind and denigrate those you think are in the wrong, shouldn't they have that same freedom?

Sure. I draw the line well before crypto scams and Nazi shit and extreme antivax conspiracy theories, though. No, I don't particularly think that we need to protect peoples' "freedom" to use public social media servers with gigabytes of free storage when they're using that "freedom" to upload videos calling for my death on the basis of my ethnicity, and the "freedom" to reach and indoctrinate others on that platform into wanting to kill me too. I don't see why anybody would offer them a platform, and I certainly don't see why any decent person would want to use such a platform. I don't think odyssee has the "freedom" to compel us to want to use it knowing what a shit show it is.
Do you actively seek this stuff out, or are you perhaps misrepresenting the extent? I browse the Internet everyday and have so for many many years, yet oddly enough I don't manage to stumble across this type of content I see people complaining about.
Might be why some people think it's a good platform
Before the reddit exodus lemmy was overrun with tankies.
Is it better now? I feel like I'm still running into a lot of tankies...
Much better.
The "all" feed was almost all lemmygrad.
alright. I remember running into a lot of pro-Russia, pro-China, pro-Iran bullshit on lemmy.ml, which is part of the reason I dropped my account there and moved to kbin, but I'm subscribed to a bunch of lemmy.world communities now (and clearly this lemmy.ml community, at least), and... I mean, there are still definitely tankies, particularly on the political communities, but I have mostly been avoiding those communities...
The tankies haven't gone anywhere, it's just that the content they're posting has been diluted by other content. Also some instances have banned lemmygrad.ml
Depends on who your instance is federated with
