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.

ENS domain are used to name communities.

Plebbit currently offers different UIs. Old reddit and new reddit, 4chanw, andhave 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.

I'm all for decentralized community-based hosting for large media files such as video, but i guess for text/structured databases it wouldn't work due to synchronisation issues.

Bad idea.

The closest to a good idea IMHO is NOSTR. By the way, there is a standard for moderated communities for it, I don't know whether anything implements it yet.

In general, not in fact.

Lol to the cookie notice on plebbit.com

Sounds interesting

plebbit.com is just a landing page made by a member of the community, to explain the project. To use plebbit, you can check out its clients, like Seedit.

I din't see any benefit over our existing decentralized options. Neat idea though.

Get out of here with the crypto nonsense, we dont need more tech bro spaces for people to talk about AI automation and why the grind is more important than workers rights.
