    Peertube for long tech videos. You’ll find lots of linux people here. Sure, there’s pretty much everything else too, but that’s what I use Peertube for.

    Odysee for a wide range of videos in general. Many youtubers have backed up their videos here.

    Loops for short videos… more like a tiktok clone really.

      I haven’t been to Odysee for a good while, but is it still Rumble-lite?

      I only learned of Odysee because I saw a video linked to it here and went directly to the video. When I saw it had embed code, I added support in Tesseract UI so the videos would play from the post. Then I went to the main site and saw the front page full of rightwing nutjob rants and vaccine skepticism and was like “nope”. Had I saw that beforehand, I wouldn’t have added embed support, but the work was already done so I left it in. That’s basically why I refuse to add embed support for Rumble.

      Wondering if ownership/leadership/policies have changed since about 2 years ago when I wrote the embed components for it and last interacted with it.

        No shortage of trash, but that’s true for all platforms.

        I just used the customize button on the top right corner and moved politics and a bunch of other junk to the “hide” column. This way, the home feed has a chance of containing things worth watching. Mostly though, I just use Odysee for watching the few channels I care about. Incidentally, I arranged the “followed” section to the top of the list.

        As a result, I don’t see any conspiracy or MAGA nonsense at all.
