Well I know there's a lot of right-wing content on there, but I also know there's a lot of other content there, too. So I don't think it's okay when people call it a "right-wing" platform, just because it appears to have more of it on there compared to other platforms.
The creators of the site allow Nazi content and say that doesn’t break their terms of service. On every other site, Nazism and promoting that ideology is not allowed.
This is what you are arguing for. A site that differentiates itself from other video hosting platforms by giving Nazis a safe space.
While we are at it, lets cancel the postal service since they allow Nazi's to send newsletters.
Not even a relevant comparison but I wont waste my time arguing with extremists.
Pretty much. Lets also kick all the Nazi's outta the planet while we're at it. Then will people see free speech as a good thing?
Oh wait, no they won't, because they don't agree with some rando on the other side of the planet who's saying that chemicals in the water turn the frogs gay. Let's not converse with them and determine whether its true or not; lets just exclude them from everything in society for saying something I disagree with and keep listening only to the voices echoing around us.
I hope people truly think about what I'm trying to point out.
I think i see your argument, but your analogies are very polarizing
Something I need to improve in my writing, I guess. Thanks.
Why is it not okay to call it what it is? If you openly allow nazis into your site, you have a nazi site. I'm sorry but there's just no way around it.
Either you nip that garbage in the bud or your site is overrun by far right nut jobs, which is what happened with odysee.
Of course nobody wants to use the site. Why would they?
It's the nazi bar problem. You allow one nazi to enter your bar, then that nazi brings his nazi friends, and before you notice it you have a nazi bar and no one wants to visit.
Odysee doesn't "appear" to have more right wing content, it objectively does. The majority of people who migrate to it are wackos who got banned in other places for their extremist views.
