Comment on Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoI don’t think that it’s that you can’t comment at all, it’s almost rather that you can only comment.
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.
You can link to other things and embed them in a text post using code, but there is no ability to upload anything, so the content really is all just text (since links are created using text commands).
Reddit was like that for ages before they implemented i.redd.it and v.redd.it. it’s the whole reason Imgur even exists, Reddit wouldn’t let you “upload an image” and would only aggregate comments and upvotes for links to external content.
That said, this Plebbit project raises more red flags than a Danish standing army.

base64 image is just text…
How do you stop someone posting base64 encoded CSAM. And as it is “censorship resistant” you can’t even remove it… It was even a problem here in Lemmy, assholes are around the internet to destroy anything.
Also cryptobros:
The more I read about this it sounds more and more terrible.

I haven’t looked much but I’m assuming there is an IPFS integration?
