      Rumble is youtube for people that got banned from youtube

      I thought that was BitChute? Or is Rumble BitChute but not banned from all posts on Reddit (Reddit did a global block of all BitChute links as part of the attempt to black hole the video of the Christchurch shooting and the video the shooter’s manifesto suggests was what pushed him over the edge into action).

          I just don’t think we should flock over to these centralized options as the defacto alternative.

          But, in a way we kind of have to. Barely anyone uses say, peertube, for example. And here I’m talking the mainstream consumers.

          Now is peertube and all the other alternatives great for privacy? Yes! Absolutely. Censorship resistant? Yup that too (atleast peertube is) but barely any of the mainstream cares about about privacy, and they simply want something that’s convenient.

          I mean fuck, if you want a censorship resistent, open source, no javascript service that works on tor etc etc something something privacy, but only 5 videos to watch (massive hyperbole here) by all means use the alternatives. But most users either don’t know about the sites/services, don’t care or simply find it inconvenient to use and navigate.
