  • They have been the same team for the past 2 years. I think they have done a pretty good job developing new features thoughtfully and improving the user experience. One thing I’m really enjoying about this release is that they have made it much faster to toggle between accounts.

    If they are confident adding their branding, then I take it as a show of confidence in their work.




  • This is kind of a complicated issue. We haven’t figured out federated video yet. Hosting is expensive, and instances are unreliable, search is abysmal. If you happen to already know a creator that uses peer tube, it’s easy enough to follow them, but like a lot of the fetaverse, discoverability is low.

    Odysee bridges that gap between giant, centralized video hosting behemoth Google/YouTube and truly free video hosting.

    There are a lot of creators who have ideological aversion to being hosted on YouTube, Which includes a lot of FOSS and privacy people like Louis Rossmann or Naomi Brockwell. It also means unfortunately that there are some people who leave mainstream services because their ideas are so repugnant, that they get banned.

    Anyway, here are the official community guidelines from their website.

    Content or posts that incite hatred or violence towards a particular group or person(s) based on, but not limited to the following:

    Ethnicity, Disability, Nationality, Race, Gender, Religion, Sexual orientation, Social class/caste, Gender identity/expression

    Content or posts that promote terrorism, criminal activity, or credibly calls for violence (coordinated or otherwise), for example:

    Sincere encouragement of others to go to a particular place to commit/perform violence, or to target groups or individuals with violence

    Promotion of recruitment into terrorist and/or criminal groups

    Sincere promotion of terrorist and/or criminal groups

    Sincere promotion of terrorism and/or criminal activity








  • So 1 - support app developers. Just get it. 2- Russia is ridiculously pro-Palestinian, pro-Iran, Anti-Israel, so I think that’s a pretty wide swing and a miss. Slava Ukraini. 3 - it’s not a matter of belief, it is simply a fact that before Israel was established, Palestine was a region of the British mandate, prior to that it was a region of the Ottoman Empire, and so on from one empire to another all the way back to the time of the the Jewish Kingdom of Solomon.

    In the early 20th Century, Palestine was a mix of Jewish, Arab, Druze, Bedoin, etc. Jewish Palestinians and Arab Palestinians were the two largest population groups, both of whom helped the Allies in WWI. Both were acknowledged as having a natural right to establish a state in their native land. The British eventually determined that the UN was in the best position to negotiate and define the borders, which they did. The Jews accepted the borders and declared their State, the Arabs did not. Rather, they launched a military campaign against the State of Israel. Portions of what would have been the State of Palestine were captured by Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.

    Please research all of these statements. They are not my personal beliefs or opinions. They are uncontroversial facts.
