@Firelion @Jim Blacklists are part of the LBRY blockchain and it's all controlled by the LBRY corp. They can censor your account and the censor is put on the blockchain (technically you could make a client that ignores the blacklists but still).

Also "blockchain" doesn't mean that it's decentralized. A blockchain CAN be decentralized but that's not always the case. The only truly decentralized blockchain I know of is the Monero blockchain because they actually have thorough documentation on setting up a node.

Not only the documentation, but also the ease of setting up a node, and the very low bar of entry.
But with the exception of Monero, ASSociating "blockchain" with "decentralized" is really just a meme.
@xianc78 @Firelion @Jim The blockchain is only for the metadata though, right? Like they still host all the videos? The actual LBRY desktop app can download local caches of videos.

Has there been a lot of censorship on Odysee?

@djsumdog @Jim @Firelion According to @ryo, they censored some loli stuff along with some "bigoted" comments.

@xianc78 @Firelion @Jim If they don't have a mechanism for blocking things someone will post CP and make the whole thing illegal. They literally don't have a choice

@applejack @Firelion @Jim They're using it to censor other shit though. And it's not like the couldn't use a form of community based moderation.
