Selfhosted

55010 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

a while ago we shared our peer-to-peer project here multiple times under the name Plebbit, and honestly you guys were right The name wasn’t it.

We have decided to rebrand to Bitsocial, which feels way cleaner and more serious for what we are building.

5chan, Seedit clients and any other app we will make, will all be branded as Bitsocial apps

All info (intro, docs, roadmap, links) to be released on bitsocial.net later this month.

We also took your feedback seriously and we are now implementing proper sign-in options like:

Google GitHub (and more coming later)

So yeah thanks for the honest feedback

You are just not going to stop pushing this, are you? I'm glad you've learned not to associate your platform with crypto, but I still don't trust you and I don't want to reiterate how this WILL become a childporn haven when you don't have wide-spanning moderation.

Also your SSL cert is expired and the website is broken besides.

on moderation : the protocol is not private or anonymous. It’s peer-to-peer, and IPs are visible in the swarm. anyone trying to post illegal content is not hidden and will get caught. Also, each community has its own mods, and clients can enforce their own rules similar to how Seedit is SFW by default.

There’s also a character limit, so you can’t base64-dump images posts.

. The proper landing page is going live next week.

We are building in public and taking feedbacks seriously.

In before this is a big elaborate ad for NordVPN.

(VPNs and tor allow you to mask your IP)
