Rinse - Plebbit Dev

Voting power decided by buying power is about the most undemocratic system possible short of autocracy

The token is not forced upon anyone, and even if we start including it in the clients somehow, anybody can fork the clients and remove any token related stuff out of it.

Tokenizing your own project is a great way of supporting development without selling shares to VCs who only care about hyper growth, regardless of the ideals of the project.

Obfuscating the purpose and structure of your organization to either intentionally or unwittingly dodge regulations that would protect your shareholders is not a great look.

Not sure what you mean by that, everything we do is out in the open.

Yeah I don’t mind having an account on Bluesky, and will be making one shortly.

Ideally hosting your node should be easier, it doesn’t seem they care about it that much which concerns me

But then who’s hosting my content and till when they’re hosting it?

I’m personally planning to set up a bluesky account soon, but running a selfhosted instance doesn’t look easy yet

I took a look at their whitepaper and it says that they’re not using blockchain at all

If community owners want to set a blockchain name like hello.eth or hello.sns it’s possible, but it’s optional.

It’s some sort of proprietary peer to peer algorithm. Is this something that changed in implementation?

Not true, it’s free software released under GPL V2, check out plebbit-js

but it’s run by a DAO that operates using a governance token, which is not exactly great.

What is the problem with DAOs? I think they’re a great way of facilitating coordination between anons on the internet

The reason why we picked Blockchain name systems is because they’re the only way of having a full control over a name. There are lot of examples online with people getting their DNS revoked. What do you think the problem is with blockchain components?

Also, blockchain are only used for resolving names, which is a small part of Plebbit, the rest of stack is P2P.

What would you recommend instead? Seems like Twitter has the most reach, and until Plebbit reaches critical mass we need to reach out to people on popular platforms
