My one holdover is YouTube. There's just no good replacement for it.
What about Rumble or Odysee?
Ironically, Odysee doesn't have enough censorship for me. Like any fledgling community, the main inhabitants of any alternatives are people who aren't welcomed on mainstream social media. And I don't mean the modern "every person right of me is a Nazi". I mean a lot videos have comments calling for killing all Jews, one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.
Technically, it's fine, but who wants to post good videos or interact in a community of crazies?
This is actually pretty funny. I am glad I am staying away from Odysee.
In general, I am rather skeptical of "free speech absolutism" and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.
Yeah it’s almost always a front for batshit right-wing nutjobbery.
Not in Retroshare or Freenet or I2P. They do have such people, of course.
My free speech absolutism would be in separating community moderation from actual physical instances.
Say, a P2P system where you subscribe to a community (somehow identified) and the "deleted" comments and "banned" users are that because of there being a "delete" record signed by that community.
With distributed storage, but storage a user contributes being used only by communities they subscribe to, so not like Freenet with every user probably storing one or two blocks of CP files.
EDIT: That would allow everyone to verify moderators' honesty and fairness, which would be beneficial to moderators themselves, but at the same time in practice you'd have easy moderation.
