  • Thanks for the detailed reply that helps, this sounds really interesting, with the late stage capitalism we are going through, I’ve lost all interest in private corporate controled social networks, hence the switch to Lemmy, but the instance owner is still a single point of failure with Lemmy but at least you can switch to another instance.

    I have a few concerns about Plebbit though.

    A - with torrents you know the size of the torrent beforehand and can decide if you can download it all and continue seeding it so long as you have the space for it on your drive, but with a forum like Plebbit, how would a user know how much space on their drive Plebbit will take for the Plebbit content they interact with. Is there a way to dedicate X gigabytes of limited storage space for it and anything above that gets purged to make space for new data?

    B - One of the best uses Of Reddit imo is that it’s very easy to Google for something and find a relevant Reddit thread, especially for something niche, since Plebbit only keeps the most popular content and the rest goes away if not seeded, does it mean it won’t be a good for niche archival data, maybe that’s a use case that Plebbit isn’t design to handle and that’s okay.

    C - Bots are a big concern for most social media, especially the ones used for spreading propaganda and misinformation, how does a P2P social forum like Plebbit plan to handle bots.?





















  • This is why I detest the idea of keeping someone alive at any cost that’s currently the law, euthanasia should be legalized and available to everyone, at some point we all have to die, I don’t understand why make people suffer into old age, we put pets down when they get too old and sick because we know that’s mercy, then why is the same mercy not shown to human beings.

    Edit: I am talking about auto euthanasia, aka an individuals right to chose his own end, not others making that choice for old / sick people
