What do you guys think about Seedit ? A peer-to-peer selfhosted reddit alternative built on IPFS

Seems like something no one but tech nerds will ever use

It's extremely cool, I've dreamed of this idea years ago but never made it happen

I just worry about the practicality of it in terms of moderating, keeping spammers and trolls away, actually building communities and attracting users, longevity of content storage and keeping seeders for old posts, being indexed by Google, etc

I’ve been using lemmy and it’s pretty good

Managed by Google. Complies with IAB TCF. CMP ID: 300

Right from the bottom of the Lemmy page.

Doesn't seem to be in the same category as seedit then...

Die4Ever@reddit

which Lemmy server is that? https://retrolemmy.com/ for example doesn't have anything like that, most Lemmy servers I've seen don't have any Google tracking in them

MegaGrubby@reddit

Is there a site that ranks the lemmy servers? Seems like old school BBS or usenet newsgroups chaos.

[-]

throwawayyyyygay@reddit

Sounds like you found a bad lemmy server. But that’s the beauty of lemmy. Choose your own server. lemmy.dbzer0.com is nice

closehaul@reddit

It’s a p2p social network that as long as you’re using the activitypub protocol anyone can host.

IlIIllIIIlllIlIlI@reddit

Damn its almost like we're in r/RedditAlternatives

[-]

light_odin05@reddit

Damn it's almost like you could the title of post that's in the subreddit

[-]

IlIIllIIIlllIlIlI@reddit

So you agree context matters, but are upset not everyone agrees on your definition of level of context?

[-]

light_odin05@reddit

I mean if you're going to be that asinine r/republican is on Reddit. Shall i start spouting right wing Bullshit here because the context is eventually also Reddit?

[-]

IlIIllIIIlllIlIlI@reddit

Imagine being so perpetually online you have to make everything about politics, and can't fathom the idea that others dont agree with you who aren't automatically right wing

I kinda feel bad for you now.

light_odin05@reddit

In term of decentralization

ActivityPub is the protocol known as the "fediverse", Lemmy and Mastodon are ActivityPub clients

ActivityPub is not fully decentralized, it's a federated design, meaning it's a network of instances, and each instance is just a regular website with servers.

MysteriousYard@reddit

Can someone ELI5 how moderation would work? Some superadmin over all open instances?

[-]

MegaGrubby@reddit

Interesting. Does the client show you your data usage? I think that would be a concern for many.

[-]

AnarchistBorn@reddit (OP)

data usage of what exactly ?

[-]

MegaGrubby@reddit

Since it's peer to peer and you are a network node, at a minimum, it should show how much up/down data app is using. Ideally, you would have control over how much you want to participate in the network (while on screen versus, while in the app versus while the phone is on, etc).
