Real.video, Dlive.io, and bitchute are alternative platforms. My recommendation to people is to use them all. Hell I'd even us DTube. I just wouldn't count on what I put there persisting over time. Real.video may end up being one of the best for Persistence. You see both DLIVE and DTUBE use IPFS and I'm fairly certain they have to pay for that decentralized storage. If they don't have some way to guarantee it's presence on IPFS for eternity then it makes sense that it might eventually vanish.
I believe DTUBE ties how long they keep something to how well it does.
@dwinblood - I've added your other 2 to my list, but really if the types of content on there (I haven't checked nearly any of these on my list thus far) isn't what I'm looking for or interested in, there's no point.
That goes back to what I said about traffic.
Not that I'm part of the mainstream collective because I'm NOT, but bigger means more selection.
Even here on Steemit I can see that there's hardly anyone writing about my interests.
Not all of them, of course, but I did a search for only the 2nd time & came up with only a handful of tags.
Thanks
Yep, if we want to build censorship free platforms in some cases YOU will have to take the leap an build a community rather than expecting it to already exist. The only places such things already exists is on the heavily censored corporate platforms. It is my hope those corporate platforms will hemoraghe users... as that happens there is more opportunity and likelihood of the communities taking off.
There is no easy button. A lot of the things that are worth doing are challenging. Yet is is a personal decision that only each of us can decide for ourselves.
I agree.
If you ever come across a group of people who are interested (we would need capital), I'm in.
