You mean BitChute but not filled with fascist garbage?

    There's the rub, isn't it? Fascists are the ones most actively seeking new platforms to move to after their removal from any other, meaning a lot of the start-up content has to be thoroughly filtered, which takes a lot of effor and resources away from growth.

    Non-fascists should also just switch away from YouTube. We just need to outnumber the Nazis on alternative platforms like Odysee. BitChute is a hopeless case, but we actually have a chance on Odysee. PeerTube is great though, there are a lot instances that are free of Nazis. It has some other issues though. Sticking with YouTube definitely isn't an option.

    Yeah PeerTube is cool, but it has its own set of issues. 1. It's very expensive for an individual to run an instance 2. The federation mechanism doesn't really work 3. It's just too fragmented to replace YouTube due to that fragmentation 4. The search is horrible, also because of the aforementioned issues. I am aware that Sepia Search exists, but it should be built in to PeerTube itself. In general, it's not very friendly to new users. The entire UI/UX could use some improvements.
