Plebbit is a fully peer-to-peer, decentralized alternative to Reddit Built on IPFS that doesn’t rely on centralized servers or federated instances like Lemmy or Mastodon. Instead of traditional infrastructure, .No single point of failure, no global mods with ultimate control, no admin backdoors.

In theory, this should mean true censorship resistance and user ownership of content. Communities (subplebbs) are moderated locally with cryptographic keys, and moderation actions are transparent and accountable. It’s a different model than just “federated social media” this is more like BitTorrent for discussion forums.

Do you think a system like this can scale in practice?

Can it maintain quality discussions without centralized moderation?

Will regular users adopt something this technical?

Is it really more decentralized than alternatives, or just differently centralized?

    How are you going to prevent state actors from trying to take down the freedom on the internet by them feeding these systems child porn? If you pay attention to the news, you realize those that want to save the children are those that harm the children. There are a lot of cops that get in trouble for child porn. And then the Israelis, they’re good at blackmailing people and also getting into your computer and setting people up. Which is really just the US Empire, but still. Don’t believe me. Whatever. I might not know everything, but I definitely understand. The left and right paradigm and the tyranny of American imperialism. They will corrupt you, then they will control you. Something to think about kiddos. I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy. I want to see more of this and i want to see you succeed.
