Rinse - Plebbit Dev

You don’t need the token to post or create your own community or anything like that. Our plans for the token is to be used for tipping (in a decentralized manner, without relaying on payment processors) and voting within Plebbit clients (which is up to the client dev).

serves only to enrich the owners Assuming Plebbit token gets massive appreciation, we now as the community have a lot of funds to spend on developing new clients to replace centralized web2 platforms like:

• Discord
• Telegram
• Meetup
• Vbulletin
• Discourse
• Facebook groups

A project appreciating in value is not a bad thing, it’s not a bad thing when you pay developer teams to push p2p decentralized social media.

How do you think the token affects the decentralization of the project?

Plebbit is text only, hard to imagine the kind of illegal material that will be sneaked that way. If anybody want to share illegal material, they’re probably using tor not a pure p2p solution which is easier to trace.

99.99% of cases won’t matter because most people won’t seed random content forever. If the sub owner purge it from their node, I highly doubt anybody else would come across it unless there’s like a group dedicated to seeding and sharing removed content

There will be no way for new people to discover the purged content through the community itself.

Now, if you had the CID of a purged content and there are people seeding it to you, then yes Plebbit functions like any P2P network in which anyone can fetch a content that’s seeded by somebody

There’s a button in the UI to purge comment from your community as a mod. What will happen is:

• The comment will be removed from your node
• The comment will be removed from your community pages (people who load your community won’t see it)

because if images are hosted on ipfs

Plebbit is text-only protocol, all images in the clients are links to image hosting websites.

Biggest text you can embed is 30kb, and that is configurable by communities and they can choose to lower that

Protocol implementation plebbit-js is separated from client like Seedit

Lol pretty sure if we’re funded by these guys we would’ve been way faster with our development. P2P is hard, many pitfalls

There’s moderation on the community level, each community is moderated by their owners, or the owners can pick people to moderate in their stead.

There’s moderation though, each community is moderated by their owners, or the owners can pick people to moderate in their stead.

There’s no such thing as global admins though

How so? If you’re running your node it is.

You don’t need to develop a project for 3 years to rugpull it. Rug pulls are low effort

The founder funded this with more than half a million of his own money to build it, if he just wanted to pump and dump a token there are easier ways

Admins of communities can delete stuff. The doc was referring to global admins, there are no global admins on Plebbit.

also Plebbit nodes don’t store images, we only store links to images hosted somewhere else.

First link you sent is a scam, the token is not part of the protocol atm

Federated has many of the pitfalls of emails like a few providers holding most of the network captive, we believe a full p2p design similar to BitTorrent is the best way forward for full sovereignty of communication.
