Wasn't it a basically unmoderated platform and therefore full of Nazis, science deniers and other social scum that got banned on youtube?

If we're talking about alternatives to YouTube, should the bar for "quality" users really be those who haven't yet been banned from YouTube? Does it really matter? If you can choose what you look at, subscribe to, etc. I'm not sure I fully understand the fear, or your point as to those users being on the platform as well?
You don't understand why a breeding ground where nazis can share conspiracy theories with other nazis and also reach susceptible idiots and children with their naziism might not be a good place where we all want to spend a bunch of time?
Might be why some people think it's a good platform
Before the reddit exodus lemmy was overrun with tankies.
Is it better now? I feel like I'm still running into a lot of tankies...
Depends on who your instance is federated with
Much better.
The "all" feed was almost all lemmygrad.
alright. I remember running into a lot of pro-Russia, pro-China, pro-Iran bullshit on lemmy.ml, which is part of the reason I dropped my account there and moved to kbin, but I'm subscribed to a bunch of lemmy.world communities now (and clearly this lemmy.ml community, at least), and... I mean, there are still definitely tankies, particularly on the political communities, but I have mostly been avoiding those communities...
The tankies haven't gone anywhere, it's just that the content they're posting has been diluted by other content. Also some instances have banned lemmygrad.ml
I think something is happening with lbry, I saw post earlier somewhere around here.
They (Lbry inc) are being shut down for their crypto-token things. They didn't have kyc and the sec got very mad at them.
How dare they not collect personal information!
To be honest it's not the main reason the sec didn't like it. It's because when the token was created, Lbry inc kept large reserves for them to sell later on as a way to monetize the whole thing
I made a channel on Odysee, I like it, it's UI is good, it works, I think it is the best yt alternative at the moment, it just needs more people migrating there.
I prefer PeerTube
I also like it, but it seems that not a lot of creators from yt, or even peertube creators make really good content. Of course, I could be wrong, and if I am, I'd appreciate if you'd give me some good peertube creators
I find odysee having the same issue, but I agree with you.
It's one of the best Youtube alternatives going.
I tried lbry when they started in one of the Crypto peak moment, Haven't use them in years and not sure to still have my private key and token. Pretty surprised that it's still existing considering that their technology wasn't that amazing and requested a dedicated app
