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)

Here's a great video on it (at least if i remember): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ca8zM3WyVw

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

There's a lot of right wing content

Odysee IS the video platform of LBRY. It's currently the best alternative to YT

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 days ago

Odysee is A video platform of LBRY. There is also LBRY for desktop and Android, and Librarian is an alternative frontend.

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.

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

[-] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Odysee is dominated by far-right people, a lot of the content is straight up fascistic and comments usually suck

Still, I follow some creators I like there through Grayjay, but no interaction with Odysee

You haven't answered the question

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