I don’t trust any of these apps that are used by the DEA and trying to get a phone number out of me one bit

Besides, it was a joke. Baidu and Billibilli have completely different content. It’s like replacing candy with a tomato in a child’s meal. Of course you’re going to get mad at me.

Odysee in this analogy would be like replacing candy with shitty off brand candy.

Odysee is not a foreign thriving streaming service it’s a venture capital funded mess that’s never going to do well compared to YT, same with Bitchute and others.

You’re going to want https://invidious.privacy.dev/ for an easy way to get your fix. Or Youtube DL.

I just don’t really use youtube for much of anything unless I randomly look stuff up. Odysee is certainly not going to provide me with tutorials or music albums!

Peertube is also not a replacement and more a way for people to self-host their channels free of censorship and then federate (like here on Lemmy) but it’s going to be much bigger than Odysee or Bitchute because it’s an open source software platform, not a shitty youtube knockoff.

What does privacy even mean to you? Google is literally a US military contractor. Who do you think stands a chance of prosecuting you? This is flat out racist and uninformed. You haven’t provided any evidence other than it being Chinese.

try baidu

I consider ActivityPub sites to be flat-out better than other website networking options. Sure, people complain about how people establish blocklists and shit and it’s not the idealized version nobody promised them that they assumed existed for some reason, but it’s like adding another dimension to these projects simply by dropping a list of linked or friendly instances into an ActivityPub site about page. Simply linking to a Mastodon you also run on your own Lemmy instance remains the simplest option over dogshit like Kbin and Mbin.

that’s pretty convenient. cool, i don’t have to learn anything new about central asia. thanks
