That's it.

Seedit Looks Like Old Reddit… But It's Fully P2P & Self-Hosted (lemmy.world)

Lemmy was a great idea. It put reddit into the users hands. Its fast, works well and gave the community control of its community

I'm not endorsing Seedit, but I support decentralized social media and want to share information for those who are interested. This is not promotion, im ust spreading awareness.

I know a lot of people here hate Reddit (rightfully so) because of how they keep banning people for their opinions. If you miss the old Reddit experience but want something that actually decentralized and can't be taken down, check out Seedit.

• Looks & feels like old Reddit

• Fully P2P on IPFS → No global admin to ban you

• You can self-host your own community

• ENS domains used for subplebbits

• MVP is coming in 2 weeks, and speed will improve

Right now, it's a bit slow, but once the MVP drops, it’ll be fast. If anyone is seriously interested in running a community, you can dm me I’ll buy an ENS for you.

Seedit doesn’t rely on any servers. It’s pure P2P, running entirely on IPFS. No central authority, it literally can't be taken down.

Seedit is NOT a Lemmy competitor. It’s part of the Plebbit protocol, which supports multiple UIs. In fact, a Lemmy-style UI is coming soon.

The code is fully open source, If you're into decentralization and open protocols, check it out.

I grabbed the app from github and jumped in, then looked through all of the posts on the front page with comments. Crypto, Musk bootlickers, one post has the n word in the title. So what exactly is this? Is it just going to be Voat again?

My interest is not in the Reddit interface so that's not a selling point, and frankly the first impression of the users is bad. Is there a sub/community/whatever you can point me to that's worth participating in yet or should I give it a few months and see how it progresses?

Is it just going to be Voat again?

Yes. This is the only thing such spaces devolve into. Same thing happened/is happening with nostr.

I hate mods and I hate these guys.....

Why cant there be an alternative? Both equally suck....

[–] Plebbitor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we need better communities, most of them are poorly maintained at the moment. But some of them are cool, like technopleb.eth, plebpiracy.eth, plebmusic.eth, movies-and-anime.eth. You can check out the full list on https://seedit.app/#/communities/vote (this is a maintained list of default subs to show in the app, but you can connect p2p to any sub whatsoever if you know its address, just like you can download any torrent with a torrent client)

Decentralization is cool but unmoderated spaces tend to attract the worst kinds of people.

Someone else commented that one of the posts on seedit is titled with the n-bomb which proves your point.

It's also not clear to me if a seedit user can control what posts they seed. The last thing I'd want to do is seed a post that has thz n-bomb as the title. No thanks.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I remember as a kid, early 2k’s, I was active on a big forum at the time and they went and did a troll attack on the stormfront forum. Even a literal nazi forum had moderation. I can’t imagine how much worse a non moderated place might be.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today -3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

As someone who got banned by a moderator for saying trans men should not be allowed to compete against women in the same sport, I disagree.

Some moderators are just nuts and use their power to control conversations so it fits their personal preference.

I prefer platforms where users are in control, not moderators. It requires a certain amount of work as a user so its not for everyone of course.

[–] SendPrudes@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I find it funny that like every WNBA and majority of American female athletes competed in the men’s leagues at high school level and absolutely shit on them while they were there. The benched dude for Caitlyn Clark out in the Midwest isn’t suing her for not making college ball.

We as a society say a really great female athlete improving their odds for pro level is okay to migrate sex defined leagues. But if a trans female athlete just wants to play amongst their peers it’s wrong / unfair / unacceptable lol.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

case in point.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today -3 points 1 year ago

Exactly.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would it not be more reasonable to distinguish by strength classes instead of gender?

[–] 1984@lemmy.today -1 points 1 year ago

Naah. Its always been gender based since the first olympics and its extreamly unfair to women to have physical men compete with them. Anyone can see that.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Actually this makes me realise how surprising it is that we don't have an old.reddit lemmy skin.

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There's old.lemmy.world, and I only ever used Reddit through 3rd party apps and the one I used has a Lemmy app now. Close enough.

[–] kionite231@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

hmm I will try and host a subplebbit on my minipc and see if anyone actually uses it, feel free to DM me to get the address of the subplebbit :)

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why use this over Lemmy?

[–] Plebbitor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmy is federated, it's not decentralized. Instances run on centralized servers, using DNS, they can get deplatformed at any time and delete your data. They effectively work just like regularly centralized websites, and can block each other. Whereas on plebbit, each community is a node that can't get deplatformed (works like torrents, ie no domain/DNS/SSL) and users connect to it p2p. So, to run a lemmy instance, you have to run a whole site, whereas to run a plebbit node you just have to open the desktop app and browse the site with it. Creating a sub with your node is free, just like creating a torrent file.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't lemmy decentralised, but not distributed? No single node controls the whole lemmy network.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

More like "Suedit". Reddit has a lot of money for lawyers now, and will aggressively go after anything that looks like it, even if the look is old.
