    no global admins, and no way shut down communities-meaning true censorship resistance.

    "True censorship resistance" is not a desirable property. No normal user wants to deal with moderation. You need to have a structure for delegating moderation and such tasks to other people.

          See Freenet/Hyphanet

          Please don't, because it is literally the largest place online that openly trades CSAM. Law enforcement even run their own nodes there to try to catch people.

          Didn't click on your links. But LEA does this move against any network that may offer anonymization. Don't use Tor hidden services. Don't go near I2P. Stay away from Freenet...etc. This even includes any platform that is seen as not fully under control, like Telegram at some point.

          In its essence, this move is no different from "Don't go near Lemmy because it's a Putin-supporting communist platform filled with evil state agents".

          Does any network that may offer anonymization (even if misleadingly) attract undesirable people, possibly including flat out criminals? Yes.

          Should everyone stay away from all of them because of that? That's up to each individual to decide, preferably after seeing for themselves.

          But parroting "think of the children" talking points against individual networks points to either intellectual deficiency, high susceptibility to consent-manufacturing propaganda, or some less innocent explanations.

              Looks promising, but too difficult to use for average user.

                I agree in general, just like the word "decentralized". But in this case it's legit, because it simply means it's p2p. I'd call bitcoin "serverless" as well, so it's BitTorrent and IPFS. Plebbit is exactly the same: you open the desktop app and it runs a p2p node automatically in the background, to run your subplebbit, and users connect to it peer to peer. Your p2p node is not really a "server", because it doesn't require any centralized domain to function, it uses transport protocols and peer discovery instead.

                  no global admins, and no way shut down communities-meaning true censorship resistance.

                  "True censorship resistance" is not a desirable property. No normal user wants to deal with moderation. You need to have a structure for delegating moderation and such tasks to other people.

                  You need to have a structure for delegating moderation and such tasks to other people.

                  We actually have it: since there's no central database of communities, who decides which ones appear in the homepage of the apps to first-time users? We use a "default list" of communities, which is effectively moderated (vetoed) by the app developer. This is the only "global admin" we basically have, but it's only for the app itself, not the protocol, and it still doesn't stop users from connecting p2p to the community (depending on the app, some plebbit client developers could implement blacklists).

                    No moderation seems like a recipe for disaster

                    The communities moderate themselves with their own admins, just like on reddit. The difference is, there's no global admins that can censor communities or enforce global rules. However, the plebbit app developer can basically act like a global admin by blacklisting connections to certain communities. I predict the most popular plebbit apps won't include such blacklisting functions.

                    Plebbit is like BitTorrent, there's no global BitTorrent admin. You use a BitTorrent client (like uTorrent) to download torrents, and the client could technically blacklist your torrent. You use a plebbit client (like Seedit) to download a subplebbit, and the client could technically blacklist your subplebbit.

                    It's entirely possible that more centralized plebbit clients will be created, to be published on app stores for example, and they will implement whitelists of safe communities to participate in, blocking any other community.

                        there's no 🍕 because ALL data on plebbit is text-only, you cannot upload media. We did this intentionally, so if you want to post media you must post a direct link to it (the interface embeds the media automatically), a link from centralized sites like imgur and stuff, who know your IP address, take down the media immediately (the embed 404's) and report you to authorities. Further, plebbit works like torrents so your IP is already in the swarm, so you really shouldn't use it for anything illegal or you'll get caught.

                          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.

                          Nowhere in the project whitepaper or FAQ does it talk about banning image hosting. Base64 encoding images in the text post is trivial, so maybe OP is the one projecting this intent or feature?

                          You can't encode base64 images on plebbit, each fiels has a character limit. Obviously centralized links, from which media is embedded, will be taken down by the relative centralized website.

                            If there's no central server then where is all the data stored?. With Lemmy I know the instance creator has to host it all on his own server.

                            It's stored in each plebbit node. Each subplebbit runs a custom IPFS node for plebbit, with its text-only database, which is the content you see in the app. Peers download it and seed it back.

                              Well from their site

                              Moderation

                              Since there are no global admins, the administrative control of a subplebbit rests solely with its creator. No one else can moderate content or accounts unless the subplebbit creator grants them permission.

                              So, it's not that theirs no moderation. It's just "subplebbit" creator/delegates controlled as there is no over arching site wide company able to moderate it on the whole.

                              It will mean, as a user, you'll have to be liberal with removing subplebbits from your own feed though. I'm sure there will be some.. not so pleasant subplebbits appearing.

                              Sounds like some insane legal liability to take on with how weird shit is. Will definitely be making an account to check it out though seems like a really cool idea.

                                Technically cool, but it's scary that it tries to emulate the anonymous, unmoderated shithole that is 4chan. Go to 4chan now and try to imagine something even more racist, nazi and unhinged.

                                    I hope it works out.

                                    It seems like you thought this through and sought feedback from people.

                                    Either way, this isn't for me.

                                      From the whitepaper:

                                      1. The user completes the captcha challenge and publishes his post and
                                        captcha challenge answer over pubsub.
                                      2. The subplebbit owner’s client gets notified that the user published to his
                                        pubsub, the post is not ignored because it contains a correct captcha
                                        challenge answer.
                                      3. The subplebbit owner’s client publishes a message over pubsub indicating
                                        that the captcha answer is correct or incorrect. Peers relaying too many
                                        messages with incorrect or no captcha answers get blocked to avoid DDOS
                                        of the pubsub.
                                      4. The subplebbit owner’s client updates the content of his subplebbit’s
                                        public key-based addressing automatically

                                      I may be misunderstanding how this protocol works, but at step 10 what prevents the owner from publishing the captcha answer as incorrect as a method of censorship based on the content of the post?

                                      nothing prevents it, the sub owner can put a challenge that's impossible to solve to troll people. it's required that this be possible otherwise the sub owner wouldnt have full control over what the challenge is.

                                      a lemmy instance could do the same thing so it's not really an issue, the fix is just dont use subs / instances that dont work.
