If you have some favourite YouTube channels from the cars and basketball world, you should try contacting them personally and asking them to sync their channel with Odysee. Even if they choose not to; at least they've heard of it now, know at least some of their audience may want them to, and may consider it in the future 🙂.

It might not work asking in YouTube comments though, but it's worth a try. The reason I say this is I've personally tried it multiple times over the past year, and strangely I've been noticing that YouTube appear to be switching between banning the word "Odysee" spelled specifically that way, and not banning it. I would comment something with the word Odysee, and no matter what happens, it would immediately disappear the moment I refresh the page -- commenting anything else would work fine. A few months later, I tried it again and it worked. Some time after that, it stopped working again, and it was like that for quite a while. Fast forward a month or two, and I again checked it a few days ago, and it seems to be currently working again; and all my previous comments from the past about Odysee have reappeared in my comment history, when they previously would not appear in my comment history. So now could be a good time to comment. It wasn't a glitch with my account, because I tried it with two separate ones.

Cool. What's your channel? I have a gaming channel for no-commentary playthrough's. It's not synced from YouTube, though.

You sometimes see that stuff on Odysee because they don't censor it, unless it promotes violence or hatred to individuals. They do have community guidelines after all, since they can't legally host... illegal content. In that sense there is censorship because they can't not censor things to some extent; but the free speech and large lack of censorship is their goal regardless. As an Odysee user for over 2 years, this is the minority of content on the platform. Where you do see that content that breaks the rules... that's what the report button is for.

Are you seriously telling me that you think videos on YouTube and other mainstream platforms aren't being censored? People need to stop calling it a "right" platform. People of all political ideologies are on the platform, you are just picking out the stuff you don't like; the platform isn't even political or meant for that purpose; it's meant for all forms of content creation.

Why do you think they have the categories in their sidebar, "Pop Culture; Artists; Education; Lifestyle; Spooky; Gaming; Tech; Comedy; Music; Sports; Universe; Finance 2.0; Spirituality; News & Politics; Wild West -- in that order... Notice Politics is second last?

If anyone does want to support them, even by a small amount, and don't have much money, I personally recommend subscribing for a month or two to the Premium+ subsciption, which is only $2.99/month. It's all I can afford atm personally, so that's what I'm going to be doing. They deserve support just for this action alone.

They officially announced they were switching to the Arweave protocol in a post a little under a month ago, but I'm not sure if it's happened yet; haven't looked further into it yet, and it was revealed by other sources a little while prior to that.

Reading SuperTux Advance made me imagine a Game Boy Advance demake of SuperTux, that would actually be so cool.

Edit: Oh, it seems I was half correct. It appears to be a re-imagining of the original game in a GBA art style.

I still haven't tried it, but I've heard how great Veloren apparently is. It's an MMO voxel game that takes inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and is written in Rust.

It's funny because it's true. And it's funny because people think you're trolling.

Based on how Wikipedia explains it in your link, I think the feeling I get from liminal spaces is similar, but not the exact same thing as what I described. Liminal spaces often elicit feeling often from an unexpected lack of something that should usually be there. For example, being in mega-sized stadium all by yourself, where there would usually be thousands of people at once, or walking around your school yard ultra early in the morning when nobody is around. This certainly produces a similar feeling to what I described in my post, but different, and I can still get the feeling in busy or loud environments, it's just much rarer, and I haven't experienced it enough to be able to tell exactly what sets it off in busy or noisy environments.

I got it once in the last year when I visited the city of Melbourne, Australia. I arrived at Southern Cross railway station. I had to wait for a friend to pick me up from there. I stood out of the way and leaned against a wall right beside a Hungry Jacks (fast food franchise), and the feeling came over me when I observed my surroundings, despite being in a very busy and noisy environment. This is kind of an opposite situation to the feeling you get from liminal spaces.

The scuba diving sounds like it would do it for me, for sure. Even though I've never done it before and might not be able to because of my asthma, just imagining it (especially if I'm by myself), slightly gives me that feeling (I'm pretty good at visualising environments). That sounds like it would be fun.

I'm a Christian and believe in the existence of spirit, so I agree this is probably something spiritual.

I understand, but that's not what my experience with ASMR is like. I don't get anything like butterflies from it, I just get enjoyment and often an almost "tickling" sensation in my ears. But it's completely separate to the feeling I'm talking about. And besides that, I'm capable of getting the feeling mentioned in the post from my environment in a noisy environment, it's just uncommon.

I really want to visit and hike in New Zealand (they call it trekking). My Mum came from the North Island. I've even considered the possibility of moving there before.

Well of course there would have been some small level of it, but generally speaking, I was not even what I or almost everybody would call agitated.

It's not the same thing as this, but frission and ASMR is nice; they just produce a completely different feeling to what I'm referring to (usually tingling in the actual skin)

The feeling I'm talking about feels similar-ish to butterflies, but it goes through the legs and arms too, and feels calming rather than nerve-racking, and it leaves you wanting to remain in the moment and continue to appreciate it.

That explains why I'm so interested in getting into solo hiking. I just want to go out there and be in the wild, because it's so calming; particularly far away from civilisation. I live in Australia btw.

I think serenity seems to be the best existing term. Although I'm beginning to think that people might feel the feeling of serenity differently to each other. So if feelings were an easier thing to communicate, or if people got into more deep discussions about them more often, the exact form of serenity we are feeling might be able to be given it's own proper term.

Actually, now that you mentioned it, your experience does remind me of one that I used to get on rare occasions as a kid, but it felt different to this one and was separate. It was kind of like a sudden full-awareness state of mind of my surroundings, I can't remember much of how it felt, but it was a positive feeling. I don't think I've really felt it since I was at least 14 though, and I was quite recently wondering about it and why that might be, because I have another memory from when I was about 9-11 with this "other" feeling that's similar but different to the one I originally mentioned; and seems to be the feeling that you experienced: I was walking by myself out of an outdoor car parking area of a shopping centre. It was out the back area of the car park, where there are usually very little cars. I suddenly had this feeling you seem to be talking about come over me, and I was actually thinking to myself, "I'm here... right now!"... I didn't understand the significance of what "being here" meant, but those were just the only words that could come to my mind when I felt it. It was kind of like for a brief moment, I was... no longer mentally a child; I was fully aware of the young stage of my life that I was in, and fully aware that I was standing out in the open air of the world all by myself (mind you, at that age it wasn't common for me to be alone). As soon as I continued on my way, I forgot about the feeling and mental-state, and life just continued on as a normal, ignorant child, unaware of the beautiful complexity of the world we live in.

I've never heard of animalmaxxing before and can't find a definition; but I'm assuming it's the thing that animals do that you're referring to? You could possibly be right about this all being related to that, as mammals. If I am somehow "animalmaxxing" (that sounds weird to say about myself 😂), I certainly can't do it for as long as animals do; sitting around all day like goats and cows doing practically nothing.

Serenity! Yeah, I think that's the word I've been looking for... maybe.

I think you might be one of those truly mentally healthy people I’ve heard so little about.

😂 I sure hope so!
