Plebbit is a selfhosted, opensource, nonprofit social media protocol, this project was created due to wanting to give control of communication and data back to the people.
Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.
it has no central server, database, HTTP endpoint or DNS - it is pure peer to peer. Unlike federated instances, which are regular websites that can get deplatformed at any time,
ENS domain are used to name communities.
Plebbit currently offers different UIs. Old reddit and new reddit, 4chan, and have a Blog. Plebbit intend to have an app, internet archive, wiki and twitter and Lemmy. Choice is important. The backend/communities are shared across clients.
The code is fully open source on
Looks interesting. But I don’t see what the point is unless you connect to fediverse or can attract a critical mass to keep it self sustaining.
yeah...the fediverse is Reddit 2.0
Lemmy has been getting a little more....fascisty lately. each community has basically been infiltrated by power-tripping mods from Reddit that honestly have no business being mods.
it's good to have things different than Reddit and Lemmy.
Do you have examples? I follow [email protected] quite closely, and except the usual Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world power tripping the vast majority of communities seem okay
I also wouldn't know what they mean. Fascist takeover sounds like something I would notice?
