Aspie96 on Nostr: The company behind LBRY made Odysee, an effectively centralized platform, no more ...
The company behind LBRY made Odysee, an effectively centralized platform, no more censorship resistant than anything else, and favored it over the LBRY client. The old web client, lbry.tv, now just redirect to Odysee (there is still a desktop client, however).
The TOS of Lbry also forget to use their services for "objectionable" content. Does just publishing stuff to the network mean using their services?
Lbry also has a list of blocked videos.
Something like Lbry should be designed, using existing technologies, possibly more than one at once, trying as reasonably possible to cut money out of the equation.
Often, money conflicts with other goals. If one goal is freedom of speech, it should win, it's more valuable than money. So cut money out of the equation and there is no conflict.
