A brief introduction to Plebbit.
What is it?
Plebbit is a serverless, adminless, decentralised and infinitely scalable Social Media platform that is peer-to-peer and open-source.
How does it work?
By using 'Public Key Based Addressing' and a peer-to-peer pubsub network, Plebbit can scale infinitely without compromising on security, performance, or decentralisation.
Why is it needed?
Centralised control of Social Media threatens our ability to freely share ideas and opinions, underscoring the urgent need for a platform that is truly resistant to censorship.
Protocol and Client
A client is an application that enables users to engage with the Plebbit platform. While the content and data posted on the platform remains the same regardless of client, each one offers the user a distinct UI (User Interface).
User Choice
Whether you prefer the original Reddit interface, or Yotsuba-style imageboards such as 4chan, each client provides a different way for people to engage with the platform.
Open-Source
Plebbit is a completely open-source project, meaning anyone can develop their own client on top of the platform. Read the Whitepaper, explore the Github, and get in contact with the Plebbit team if you have any questions on getting started.
