I made some research, and here’s what I found:
Seedit is an open-source, peer-to-peer,decentralized Reddit alternative abuilt on IPFS . • There are no central servers, no admins, and no way to shut down communities—meaning true censorship resistance. • Unlike federated platform, there are no instances or servers to rely on.
How it works:
• Plebbit is the backend protocol that powers everything. • There are different UIs for browsing: • Seedit (Reddit-style interface) • Plebchan (4chan-style interface) • Both UIs share the same communities and content—you just pick the experience you prefer.
Some things to note:
• Your profile picture can only be an NFT, which is kind of a red flag.
• There’s a token involved which is also a redflag but using the platform itself is free.
• No need for DNS or SSL—it runs purely on IPFS.
Links:
• Seedit official site: seedit.app (seems to load very slowly)
• Plebbit.works: plebbit.works (centralized but much faster version)
• GitHub repo: github.com/plebbit/seedit
What do you guys think? Anyone tried it yet?
I’m not entirely enthusiastic about the fact that the maintaining GitHub account is using an avatar that appears to be a flaming Pepe.
The group of repos also is an alternate 4chan.
I have no clue about the code, haven’t looked, but it has consistent work done and some people use it. In this context, I would feel less good about the code if Pepe was not in the picture
