Selfhosted - friendly ways to fight spam without email / sms verification? (github.com)

Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update.

After opening things up more on Plebbit/Seedit, we got hit pretty hard with spam and some NSFW content. It got out of hand fast and honestly, its worse than we expected.

To stop that from messing everything up, we’re thinking about adding optional email or SMS verification when people sign up.

This isn’t something we wanted to do at first, but it seems necessary to protect the space and avoid getting buried in garbage.

we’re still fully open source, and still want this to feel like a community. If you’ve got other ideas or feedback, feel free to share.

Seedit is a serverless, adminless, decentralized reddit alternative. Seedit is a client (interface) for the Plebbit protocol, which is a decentralized social network where anyone can create and fully own unstoppable communities.

In the plebbit protocol, a seedit community is called a subplebbit. To run a subplebbit, you can choose between two options:

First, they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a schlami shows up, and he rubs it and spits on it. They cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way. The blamfs rub against the chumbles. And the ploobis and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old plumbus.

Still don't understand why they cut the fleeb.
