- People using it (not that many, but there's a sizable community) - Decent recommendation algorithm (okay ) - Decent moderation (part of the whole appeal is "free speech", but it's pretty toned down compared to some others)
It's pretty okay on all fronts, but not the best. Still something to check out though!
Plus, you can pick (or host!) an instance that agrees with your moderation preferences, and block instances that don't (e.g. alt-right and troll havens). The distributed/federated approach to moderation and hosting scales well with a limited budget.
I guess the easiest way is to ask someone to donate me some, but I don't know anyone on LBRY well enough for this.
