Few days ago I found odysee. I saw it on grayjay.
I'm trying to use YouTube as less as possible. I found some of creators I follow from yt here. How do you rate it for privacy.

Slightly moreso than YouTube, but you should really use Librarian or the LBRY app.

Also, be warned that Odysee is alt-tech.

Platforms that pretend to champion free speech but in reality are nazi bars. (think Xitter, truthsocial, rumble, kick, stuff like that)

Thanks for the info! It would be good to be aware of the term

I consider odysee to be a longer term pump'n'dump scam for the reasons outlined here:

Personally I wouldn't place much trust in them.

IIRC it uses BitTorrent (like Peertube), so your IP address will be shared

It's not that great privacy wise. Probably not as bad as YouTube but unfortunately it doesn't seems to be their priority.

Do they have apps for consoles yet?
