Hello, Just wanted to bring attention to Plebbit, a fully decentralized, open-source protocol that functions as an alternative to Reddit and Unlike traditional platforms, Plebbit is not controlled by a single entity—anyone can contribute, build their own client, and shape the ecosystem
How Plebbit Works
It runs on a peer-to-peer backend, similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon operate, but with more flexibility
It’s open-source, peer-to-peer built 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
For the moment, there are
Seedit – Old Reddit-like interface for those who prefer the traditional forum structure.
Plebchan – A 4chan-style interface for imageboard users.
Since it’s fully open-source, developers can create their own UI variations or customize the experience however they want. The backend remains the same across all these interfaces
What Do You Think?
How do you feel about multiple UI options for the same decentralized backend?
What are the biggest challenges you see for a protocol like this?
If you’re interested in contributing, the code is open-source, and anyone can participate.
