Which Youtube alternative do you prefer to use and why? I’ve found PeerTube, Odysee, and Rumble. Thoughts on any of these?

    • PeerTube: YouTube for geeks (the good one)
    • Odysee: YouTube for the alt-right (not the worst platform I’ve ever used, but in my opinion not worth it either)
    • Rumble: YouTube for nazis and conspiracy theorists (avoid)

    I also prefer PeerTube because it has more of the accounts I subscribe to on YouTube than the other two.

    I also quite like Invidious, Nebula, and Floatplane.

        Invidious is a YouTube frontend. This instance is the only one still working after Google went on the offensive.

        Nebula is a paid platform that is run by the creators who use it. Loads of intellectual fibre and original content.

        Floatplane (also paid) is a Patreon-esque platform owned by Linus Media Group (who also manage Linus Tech Tips). I only used it to watch DankPods, though.

      There is also Vimeo.

      However, none of these is a true alternative to YouTube in terms of content.

    I wouldn’t compare Rumble to the other two, it’s just yet another YouTube. PeerTube and Odysee are at least built with the idea of decentralization. Odysee has the best user experience.

    Even though it’s paid, I prefer Nebula. It’s got a good selection of creators that either moved completely there from YT or offer the same vids ad free and uncensored. The payment is extremely reasonable annually. Highly recommend.

      I’ll give it a look tonight. I was looking at Floatplane, but they simply don’t have many creators.

      While I think this is a great comment as Nebula is an interesting platform, I fundamentally disagree with how Nebula decides who can create content on their platform.

      If I understand it correctly, you can only become a Nebula content creator if a content creator in Nebula knows you and vouches for you. This makes Nebula inaccessible for new creators.

      That being said: With Nebula you do get a high quality selection of content creators.
