Plebbit is a selfhosted, opensource, nonprofit social media protocol, this project was created due to wanting to give control of communication and data back to the people.

Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.

ENS domain are used to name communities.

Plebbit currently offers different UIs. Old reddit and new reddit, 4chanw, andhave a Blog. Plebbit intend to have an app, internet archive, wiki and twitter and Lemmy. Choice is important. The backend/communities are shared across clients.

If it is selfhosted, and text only, why use IPFS?

Text only?

Wait till people start making browser plugins for base64 images.

Curious, I thought IPFS was completely empty. I have the desktop client and there's just nothing

I used once to download a book that I couldn't find anywhere else. Like 2 years ago. I stumbled onto some kind of "library" where they had stored a lot of books.

I missed the link though.

I mostly remember it because it was how i learned about ipfs.

I din't see any benefit over our existing decentralized options. Neat idea though.
