Odysee, bitchute, peertube, and others are overrun with right wing media and there’s nearly no left-wing stuff on them. Where are all the lefties?

    Odysee is owned by a large tech-bro crypto and NFT holding company, it makes sense leftists would avoid it. It is also centralized.

    Bitchute is centralized, and allowed fascist and right-wing conspiracy material to flourish when those communities were getting banned from other platforms, putting off leftists from joining. They became the Voat of the video-hosting world.

    Peertube is open-source and decentralized, meaning just like Lemmy/piefed, fascist instances can be defederated, isolating them to an echo chamber and protecting the other instances from turning leftists off it.

    There are leftist Peertube instances like kolektiva.media, you likely just haven’t found them yet.
