Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

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?

Bitchute uses adhoc peer-to-peer to lower streaming costs, but Bitchute itself has ultimate control of what content is available, moderation, and is ultimately reliant on Bitchute servers to actually host the content that becomes peer-to-peer on demand. The software is proprietary, and no individual can spin up their own bitchute.

Odysee is, like Bitchute, very centralized in practice.

Peertube is the only truly decentralized option that puts the power of hosting and federation in the hands of individuals.
