Peer-to-peer serverless decentralized social media protocol built on The IPFS

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.

MonkderVierte,

So what is it now, P2P or IPFS?

People here might be interested by my related side-project, a distributed and blockchain-less search engine for IPFS. Note that the demo server is down right now

kittenzrulz123,

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.

yumyampie,

what? No crypto / ai is mentioned here?

pcouy,

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

qaz,

Interesting project

From what I've gathered, this appears to be an unusably slow 4chan for crypto bros.

Can we get a link ?

mvirts,

Lol to the cookie notice on plebbit.com

Sounds interesting

einlander,

Text only?

Wait till people start making browser plugins for base64 images.

Valmond,

If it is selfhosted, and text only, why use IPFS?

Plebbitor,

Because this way 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, plebbit full nodes are customized IPFS Kubo nodes, and running one is as simple as downloading the Seedit client desktop app (available on github) and keeping it open. It runs the node automatically, and seeds content automatically as you browse it. It runs on a raspberry pi, so we expect to see a lot of plebbit users running their own full node.

Plebbitor,

github.com/plebbit

tht,

Maybe leave a link

0x0,

Neat but it loads really slow and there doesn't seem to be much content beyond bitcoin stuff so far

Seedit looks like reddit to me

Must've just been luck of the draw I guess, most of the posts seemed crypto related last time I looked
