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.
Ok so bad privacy for one, but from way I see it, you can very well get banned just as much, it's just by community. If it were to become popular, massive blocklists would appear that most popular subs would subscribe to, making it a defacto service ban. Or as much of a ban as having a lemmy instance defederated from everywhere is.
Also relying on each sub to reinvent the anti-spam wheel feels suboptimal.
Also people who upload csam to random places for shock value are not afraid of "the authorities". How do you handle them constantly making new accounts and posting csam on your subs?
