First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Yeah I’m looking at it more and it’s uh, well I guess I’ll see how it goes. I clicked to skip the Blockchain thing and it still did it so that’s weird, and I’m seeing a couple possible red flags in regard to management and the community in general that I need to look into further. I’ll keep an eye on it I guess.
It’s an alt-right cesspool, even worse than youtube.
Don’t be too much critical of it, it’s also decentralized in the same vein as Lemmy. There are a lot of dissident voices who have been chased out of YT who can now only talk on Odyssey.
Technically Odyssey is just a front interface to LBRY which the decentralized video streaming platform behind it. I run LBRY directly on my phone. It’s a bit clunky but essential for finding non censored information. Just ignore the alt-right channels.
I came to the conclusion long time ago that any healthy community should not suppress speech no matter its political orientation. In a decentralized system it should be natural to find people from all political spectrums those at the extreme opposite of ours. Reddit became an outright racist and bigoted platform. The few anti capitalist communities left are kept there to keep some semblance of neutrality so the people who support the status-quo keep believing in this fake reality. And as history shows, bigotry and racial hatred is the escape trap of the capitalists when the reality of their exploitation starts to be apparent in society.
That being said, I understand that some instances on Lemmy for example would be more picky on what kind of speech is allowed, since anyone can create his own instance. The ecosystem as a whole allows all voices to exist.
