  • It’s a strange word choice that the media has coalesced around. Rebel groups or armed forces would imply that they are coordinated and ideological. Cartels would imply that they are selling something. Militias is probably the best.

    I think they were already called gangs before they grew to the point of controlling major territory and the media kept the name.













  • This is kind of a complicated issue. We haven’t figured out federated video yet. Hosting is expensive, and instances are unreliable, search is abysmal. If you happen to already know a creator that uses peer tube, it’s easy enough to follow them, but like a lot of the fetaverse, discoverability is low.

    Odysee bridges that gap between giant, centralized video hosting behemoth Google/YouTube and truly free video hosting.

    There are a lot of creators who have ideological aversion to being hosted on YouTube, Which includes a lot of FOSS and privacy people like Louis Rossmann or Naomi Brockwell. It also means unfortunately that there are some people who leave mainstream services because their ideas are so repugnant, that they get banned.

    Anyway, here are the official community guidelines from their website.

    Content or posts that incite hatred or violence towards a particular group or person(s) based on, but not limited to the following:

    Ethnicity, Disability, Nationality, Race, Gender, Religion, Sexual orientation, Social class/caste, Gender identity/expression

    Content or posts that promote terrorism, criminal activity, or credibly calls for violence (coordinated or otherwise), for example:

    Sincere encouragement of others to go to a particular place to commit/perform violence, or to target groups or individuals with violence

    Promotion of recruitment into terrorist and/or criminal groups

    Sincere promotion of terrorist and/or criminal groups

    Sincere promotion of terrorism and/or criminal activity
