We already had p2p reddit. It was called Aether. It failed due to lack of users.

You duplicated Bluesky’s entry for Nostr. Could you address nostr’s weaknesses? Keeping in mind that as long as you don’t federate with the main Nostr nodes, you won’t be swamped with the CryptoBros - its biggest downside.

instances/hubs/rpcs cannot block a user account or community

Why would I want that? That sounds genuinely awful.

Edit - And the plebbit homepage talks about making a 4chan equivalent, and along with this post, there are pepe images everywhere. No thanks. Plebbit can fuck right off

You want that if you strongly believe that your hate speech counts as free speech

Hadn’t heard of it before. But based on the cheesy meme, how desperate this post sounds, and the fact that the platform seems like a chan imposter, I’ll pretend like I still haven’t heard of it.

bullish comment, every successful project was misunderstood at the beginning

It only takes a single example of a project that presented a clear goal to prove you wrong.

However… plebbit is just garbage, and it’s obvious

[Lemmy has] no mechanism for a community owner to communicate a challenge to post to his community, so impossible to prevent spam.

Hey mods, you can do the funniest thing right now:

I think a peer to peer model could work for social media, but if you’re trying to sell it using a pepe meme, I’m not interested…

But fundamentally… Why not implement what you’re thinking ontop of ActivityPub or ATProto than rolling your own thing? None of the issues you’ve described facing them are particularly insurmountable. They just need a bit of devwork.

Great! I was looking for a social media platform without the possibility of moderation. 🙄 /s

It’s basically 4chan and OP keeps begging people to join it

And zero moderation!

Well, I took the time to read the whitepaper, and it’s yeah, pretty dumb sounding. The gist is that it’s p2p post sharing with lots of captchas & a crypto edge that it probably doesn’t need https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/eb02f20b-e787-4a02-b188-d0fcbc250ba1/pleb.tex-6d2e1bf.pdf

The similarities to Lemmy are substantial, it’s just not on activitypub, but rather its own pubsub thing. If you want to host data, you still have to keep a node running at all times, it’s not the case that “there are no instances”. Those instances can moderate the content, so it’s not the case that “there’s no moderation.” The whitepaper mentions that “its possible to delegate running a client to a centralized server…” rather than having to have a fat syncing client running on your own machine … in lemmy, it’s more like “its possible to run your own node if you want”. Plebbit doesn’t care about maintaining history of posts, it expects that servers will go down over time, and the data will be lost. Lemmy is pretty similar in that regard too, if all instances hosting the data go down, then it’s lost. The expected outcome is that there’s a handful of big nodes, as is the typical result of this form of “decentralization” - same as Lemmy, Email

Ultimately, I don’t see Plebbit doing anything particularly smarter/better, and having private/public key cryptography involved doesn’t really matter. They talk about blockchains and using coins as anti-spam mechanisms, but I don’t see why that’s relevant to the implementation

Eyy, someone who actually reads! Last time a post like this popped up it was like arguing with someone who was just reading of a list of “top 10 most popular buzzwords”

yeah, and mine about ripping dvd’s on a server, if that broke the rules wouldnt this do that more?

I remember your post. How is that not related? And also lemmy is so small where else should we post? I messaged them for my post and they never responded

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
