Odysee is actually doing amazing. The interface is great and the speed is even better than Youtube at the moment.
They are however swithing their core structure from one blockchain powered storage model to another one, so at the moment it's a bit guesswork and could possibly turn out very bad. (ArWeave bought them...)
Regarding the far right content on the platform; yes, there is a bit of it, but I have only once come across it, and I was actually browsing some categories relating to politics. So in normal usage, following content creators and checking what Odysee is featuring, you'll not come across them. But even if you do, Odysee's block/mute functionality works better than the one on YouTube.
Nah a little alt right content is entirely too much.
Freedom of speech for me but not for thee
See that's the cute thing.They can have their free speech right there, but freedom also means the for most people obvious choice not to associate with nazis and other similiar troglodytes.
And as you said yourself, it already seems to be a popular hole for said miscreants, so why even bother with it.
As I said, you don't even notice them except if you look for them.
Odysee also has very good block/muting, much better than that of YouTube.
free speech is important
Sure, but that doesn't mean that one should willfully fraternize with idiots lol Troglodytes should be shunned, nothing wrong about that.
