Lemmy was a great idea. It put reddit into the users hands. Its fast, works well and gave the community control of its community
I’m not endorsing Seedit, but I support decentralized social media and want to share information for those who are interested. This is not promotion, im ust spreading awareness.
I know a lot of people here hate Reddit (rightfully so) because of how they keep banning people for their opinions. If you miss the old Reddit experience but want something that actually decentralized and can’t be taken down, check out Seedit.
• Looks & feels like old Reddit
• Fully P2P on IPFS → No global admin to ban you
• You can self-host your own community
• ENS domains used for subplebbits
• MVP is coming in 2 weeks, and speed will improve
Right now, it’s a bit slow, but once the MVP drops, it’ll be fast. If anyone is seriously interested in running a community, you can dm me I’ll buy an ENS for you.
Seedit doesn’t rely on any servers. It’s pure P2P, running entirely on IPFS. No central authority, it literally can’t be taken down.
Seedit is NOT a Lemmy competitor. It’s part of the Plebbit protocol, which supports multiple UIs. In fact, a Lemmy-style UI is coming soon.
The code is fully open source, If you’re into decentralization and open protocols, check it out.
Decentralization is cool but unmoderated spaces tend to attract the worst kinds of people.
I remember as a kid, early 2k’s, I was active on a big forum at the time and they went and did a troll attack on the stormfront forum. Even a literal nazi forum had moderation. I can’t imagine how much worse a non moderated place might be.

Someone else commented that one of the posts on seedit is titled with the n-bomb which proves your point.
It’s also not clear to me if a seedit user can control what posts they seed. The last thing I’d want to do is seed a post that has thz n-bomb as the title. No thanks.
As someone who got banned by a moderator for saying trans men should not be allowed to compete against women in the same sport, I disagree.
Some moderators are just nuts and use their power to control conversations so it fits their personal preference.
I prefer platforms where users are in control, not moderators. It requires a certain amount of work as a user so its not for everyone of course.
I find it funny that like every WNBA and majority of American female athletes competed in the men’s leagues at high school level and absolutely shit on them while they were there. The benched dude for Caitlyn Clark out in the Midwest isn’t suing her for not making college ball.
We as a society say a really great female athlete improving their odds for pro level is okay to migrate sex defined leagues. But if a trans female athlete just wants to play amongst their peers it’s wrong / unfair / unacceptable lol.
Would it not be more reasonable to distinguish by strength classes instead of gender?
case in point.
Exactly.
I grabbed the app from github and jumped in, then looked through all of the posts on the front page with comments. Crypto, Musk bootlickers, one post has the n word in the title. So what exactly is this? Is it just going to be Voat again?
My interest is not in the Reddit interface so that’s not a selling point, and frankly the first impression of the users is bad. Is there a sub/community/whatever you can point me to that’s worth participating in yet or should I give it a few months and see how it progresses?
Is it just going to be Voat again?
Yes. This is the only thing such spaces devolve into. Same thing happened/is happening with nostr.
I hate mods and I hate these guys…
Why cant there be an alternative? Both equally suck…
More like “Suedit”. Reddit has a lot of money for lawyers now, and will aggressively go after anything that looks like it, even if the look is old.
