Many users have embraced Rumble because it has committed to allowing its users to speak freely while Big Tech platforms have doubled down on censorship.
Of course my first love is fediverse, but Rumble is alright as an alternative platform, and unlike many alternative platforms, it actually works ok.
Talking about fediverse peertube is a good alternetive
Yes, and there’s some really decent instances that either have original content or mirror content from YouTube channels. Peertube.biz and it’s alternative subdomains is amazing, with those peertube is basically viable on a day to day basis.
As far as I am aware it is federated so using one instance to watch videos of another is possible. Also when I fix my server I am planning to host my own instance.
It is indeed federated. Most of the videos I watch on fbxl video are from other websites.
You can also subscribe to channels using mastodon or pleroma and get the video embeds right in your feed.
That is really cool! Sadly I know of only 3 youtubers that are on peertube.
I still use odysee more but rumble seems fine.
I find the ads annoying, but love that it does not censor for political reasons
