Hello there!
Many of you consider LBRY and Odysee as a good alternative to YouTube, because it does not track you, and does not do evil things.
Let me clear up your heads.
LBRY and Odysee still tracks you. It does still use an algorithm, that recommends you content. To be honest, it isn’t really different from YouTube. You need a phone number to verify, or other personal information. They use third-party components, to provide their services like Google AdSense. If it grows more, then we will get to the same point, what we have now with YouTube. (If they don’t make a change.)

Just use new pipe on mobile and freetube on desktop and it basically fixes all the issues with YouTube.
Pure seeking profit in short term rather than long term with less profit but more engagement in community. Very dangerous company for open source alternatives (honeytrap)…
it’s also full of fascists a la rumble

The non-mainstream social media options will always be the ones with people with more extreme political views (on both sides of the spectrum).
Lemmy has a great deal of tankies. They seem less prominent now, because the influx of people from Reddit diluted them.
Ok, now too may things make scene for me

Possibly sacrilegious question, but what difference does it make here? The JavaScript that’s delivered to users is essentially a binary, and the source code to compile that binary is available. That’s how it’s done in other software, too.
And with PeerTube being under the AGPLv3, this also holds even when someone modifies the version of PeerTube that they host, as they have to make those changes available.
