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.

Text only?

Wait till people start making browser plugins for base64 images.

[–] Plebbitor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Links have a character count limit, you can't link to a base64 image on plebbit.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You wouldn't need to link base64. Base64 is just ASCII text that would go into the comment. But you can tell a browser or extension that it's an image and have it decided accordingly. You can see examples of this in the .mht files ie/Firefox makes.

if there is a character limit, you can't store too much data. You can only store a few pixels in the base64 image string

a 1 pixel base64 gif is around 70 characters

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

[–] Plebbitor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

Interesting project

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

Curious, I thought IPFS was completely empty. I have the desktop client and there's just nothing

I used once to download a book that I couldn't find anywhere else. Like 2 years ago. I stumbled onto some kind of "library" where they had stored a lot of books.

I missed the link though.

I mostly remember it because it was how i learned about ipfs.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can we get a link ?
