Prerequisites

  • The service is not included in the list of Blocked services.
  • This is a popular service and it makes sense to have it blocked;

Service name

Odysee

Explanation

Odysee is a Youtube clone that is popular because it lacks content moderation. I'm not sure what the threshold for popularity is when considering to add something as a blockable service, but Odysee had over 5.3 million users at this point a year ago and was considered the most popular "decentralized social media platform." It has since lost popularity but appears it may be rebounding.

The content is largely synced from Youtube, but it also attracts many creators that either are, or likely would be, from Youtube and other platforms. I am not sure if blocking each is necessary, but the following domains are associated with Odysee:
odysee.tv
odysee.com
odysee.live
odycdn.com
