What do you think of Odysee? (sopuli.xyz)

Hey, Lemmy. I've been using the blockchain-based video streaming service Odysee as a YouTube backup for a while now, where I run the PIF archive channel, RandomWolf.

I was reading Wikipedia, and it says that the platform is often used by the far right, mainly because of its "free speech" guidelines. However, the channels I am seeing are fine.

What do you guys think? Is it safe, or is it just a clone of Rumble?

And, while you're at it, can you tell me what you think of Mental Outlaw?

My channel is on YouTube, PeerTube and Odysee, in case anyone has an interest in the niche.

At first it seemed like a cool idea, especially being open source and having a lot of people I watched on YouTube.

But as time went on I realized it was a complete cesspool of hate. Not only on some very bad videos, but especially on comments. Even videos that seemed completely absent of controversial topics somehow had to have some icky comment.

I'm sorry, but your freedom ends where mine begins.

I then completely gave up on it, especially since my distaste for anything crypto only grew bigger since then. The Linux Experiment made a blog post about leaving Odysee some time ago. I agree with everything written on it.

I love Mental Outlaw's content, btw! I've been watching him for a couple years now.

dont know why but mental outlaw has a weird anti-semitist community surrounding him and it has not been addressed by him.

Yeah, for some time I've realized some weird "takes" here and there but nothing that abnormal. I haven't seen every video of his, so I might be wrong. His comment section on Odysee was absolute filth though.
