I’ve accidentally found out about this guy a few days ago and it’s quite mind blowing.

Developer called Esteban Abaora has developed a serverless, adminless and decentralized Reddit alternative that will run on a blockchain kind of system ( it will actually use "public key based addressing" and a peer-to-peer pubsub network.)

Pretty crazy stuff right?!

Developer believes that this design would solve the problems of a serverless, adminless decentralized Reddit alternative. It would allow unlimited amounts of subplebbits, users, posts, comments and votes. This is achieved by not caring about the order or availability of old data. It would allow users to post for free using an identical Reddit interface. It would allow subplebbit owners to moderate spam semi-automatically using their own captcha service over peer-to-peer pubsub. It would allow for all features that make Reddit addictive: upvotes, replies, notifications, awards, and a chance to make the "front page".

Finally, it would allow the Plebbit client developers to serve an unlimited amount of users, without any server, legal, advertising or moderation infrastructure.

What do you think? Im really surprised by the way he is planning this to work. Its neither DAG nor traditional blockchain. I'm intrigued. Now your posts could live on forever!

Technically it's not on a block chain, it's using a decentralized P2P network to stop censorship.  The coin $PLEB is being used as a governance token, optional gatekeeper, and a potential tipper.  NFTs are used as avatars in lieu of images / blob data for security purposes.
