Hadn‘t heard of Rumble. At first glance, it looks like its run by Elon Musk. Andrew Tate on the frontpage, far-right political channels and crypto bros. I think I‘ll pass.

Same, a lot of YT alternatives seem ripe with alt-right garbage. I'm a leftist myself, but I can stand liberal content, however platforms like Rumble and Odysee's feeds look awful right now

My odysee feed looks good. No right wing stuff there. I'm only missing a few channels that haven't moved over.

Just checked it out and of course one of the first videos on the front page is by thequartering. Certainly right wing stuff there

Certainly. I ment on my front page there's no right wing stuff.

Youtube is the same. If you view the front page with no history it's all trash but once it knows what you want that stuff is cleared out.

Well then they work well because youtube is a right wing keg,try using Shorts you get piers Morgan in 20 min time
