#1 Vimeo and Bitchute are more well known but not as interactive (no real community life there).

Odysee is a Youtube clone and looks fairly good, and usable but Google bought them a while ago, so its days are probably numbered.

Rumble is a more widespread and better-established entity for video and openly supports conservatives.

The reborn Parler is also out there although it has no phone app presence anymore.

DTube (d.tube) is one of the most promising - it uses the blockchain and distributed distribution, so there is no central chokepoint for censorship, and it's cryptographically sound so your data/privacy is protected from hackers and doxxers. The problem is not a lot of people use it (yet).

Fragmentation of the conservative-populist (Trump) public voice over dozens of small niche platforms is counterproductive. So try them all, but once a consensus builds, follow the herd (so far Rumble seems to be gaining a lot of traction in the Libertarian/conservative crowd).

#2 FYI Funker is almost completely military-only footage. They are known for posting a lot of war footage from all over. Run by former Canadian military guy, but I do not know about their censorship stance on Trump etc. They were mainly known for military footage posted to a youtube channel.

Don't need a phone app. It can all be done with a browser and Asynchronous Javascript with XML (AJAX). PlayStore and AppleStore can both be bypassed and the best part of that is that they don't make any money.
