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.
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,
ENS domain are used to name communities.
Plebbit currently offers different UIs. Old reddit and new reddit, 4chan, and have 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.
The code is fully open source on

It sounds like jest plain simple website/forum BUT with specific protocol making it more discoverable/searchable?
Allowing to post comments anonymously… sound like a bad idea in the long run, but who know, make me eat my words.
How so? Reddit and Lemmy do just that. There’s nothing tying my username to me, and I’m guessing there’s nothing typing yours to you.
No! bUt ThEy HaVe Ur EmAiL!!!
But they don’t. I have never given my email to Reddit or Lemmy. If I did, I’d use a throwaway email.
