I have been considering livestreaming gaming (mostly Retroachievements, and maybe some noncompetitive speed running), but I cannot find/decide a good service. I am not considering it as a source of income, or wanting a huge number of viewers.
Twitch and YouTube are the most popular options. But I don’t want to use them at all, just because I don’t want to give any more of my or the viewers data to Amazon and Google.
The next popular options are Kick and Rumble, but both of their home pages are filled with right-wing political content. So, I am not swaying towards them either.
I looked at Trovo, and it is looking good. It has a very small user base, however. And as per my research, most of the users there, are streamers themselves, very low amount of viewing only users. So, what do you think of Trovo?
I couldn’t find much about D-Live. How’s that?
The last option I could find was PeerTube. I don’t expect or want a large number of viewers, but I do prefer some discoverability.
I will be converting the live stream content to small videos and will be posting on PeerTube, and maybe even Odysee.
So, what are my options? Any one of the above, or something else?

If you want any amount of discoverability, you will have to go to Youtube or Twich since those really are the only platforms that have any amount of viewers. And even then, discoverability is pretty terrible, good luck promoting a new channel from scratch.
If you just want to stream for the sake of streaming and don't mind having zero viewers, you can try PeerTube or Owncast. But do be aware that you will have zero viewers.
