Anyone interested to have old school hacker chat anonymously? And I really mean it, truly anonymously. Anonymous deep webs chat using SSH, that's right, no web / js soykaf.

Plebbit is a fully peer-to-peer, decentralized alternative to Reddit Built on IPFS that doesn’t rely on centralized servers or federated instances like Lemmy or Mastodon. Instead of traditional infrastructure, .No single point of failure, no global mods with ultimate control, no admin backdoors.

In theory, this should mean true censorship resistance and user ownership of content. Communities (subplebbs) are moderated locally with cryptographic keys, and moderation actions are transparent and accountable. It’s a different model than just “federated social media” this is more like BitTorrent for discussion forums.

Do you think a system like this can scale in practice?

Can it maintain quality discussions without centralized moderation?

Will regular users adopt something this technical?

Is it really more decentralized than alternatives, or just differently centralized?

If you’ve got experience doing web dev work for any darknets and or do anything related to cybersecurity, along with being interested in partaking in the development of any open-source projects related to Tor and I2P. then we’d very much appreciate having you on board, since we're a growing community working on some cool upcoming open-source projects for Tor and I2P.

No big promises, just people with similar interests and opportunities to contribute to the development of open-source projects that benefit the ecosystems of Tor and I2P, at large.

I've been working more on my P2P imageboard software, and after the underlying p2p database engine (Peerbit) has undergone some major upgrades, the performance and stability are a lot more robust now. There are also a lot more UX improvements recently based on user feedback. I've attempted to keep the dependencies minimal and make the install process as simple as possible. There are several nodes online to my knowledge but I don't necessarily have a full map or total knowledge of the network. Feel free to try it out and join the swarm lol.

For moderation I've kept a totally "flat" architecture where each node is free to delete any content at any time. But this deletion only applies to the node itself by default. If you want to be able to delete things on other user's nodes, they have to subscribe to your node as a moderator, and then when you delete something, that deletion action will be broadcast to others and they will accept it in their own local database. So you can subscribe to other people as moderators if you trust them to be able to delete things for you.

Each board is it's own independently-seeded topic and you can watch (join) or unwatch (leave) a board topic at any time.

There are various config options to customize your experience too.

Posts and file uploads are made under a newly generated temporary identity every time (by default) for the sake of anonymity. If you want to anonyitymax at the networking level I recommend using Whonix to connect, though ideally eventually native integration with Tor can be developed for Peerbit or libp2p itself. That being said, already there is no association between a post and the uploading IP, when you receive a post from another node, the original poster is not known, as posts and files are relayed from node to node without recording the source.

This is the Peerbit p2p database system it uses which is built on libp2p.

To explain the setup a bit, the default configuration opens a webserver on localhost port 8000 that serves pageviews to you and allows you to browse and post to the p2p database, which connects to other nodes in the background.
If you want to make this into a publicly facing website via nginx or something, there is the option to enable "gateway mode" where you can enable or disable certain features (like the ability to delete posts) for public users accessing it over the internet. Essentially this allows other people to interact with your node over the internet and post using the traditional client-server concept. You can also disable all features when not logged in, making it so only you can browse and post and moderate when logged in (eg. from your phone or another computer elsewhere) but other internet users won't be able to access the content on your node.

Hey everyone! I'm trying to create a thread on 8kun using the Tor browser, but I keep getting an error: "Tor users can't upload files on this board." I'm not attaching any files at all. Has anyone run into this issue? Any way to fix or work around it? Thanks in advance for the help!
