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:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

How Seedit handles moderation and anti-spam in a privacy-first Peer-to-peer protocol (github.com)

Seedit has vast moderation and antispam capabilities. It has a fully working mod queue. Every mod has complete control of his own sub and can ban or delete posts at will.

Due to Seedits unique design its impossible to know the ip of a specific seedit user. To combat this we had to create an intermediary platform - Mintpass. Mintpass forces users to verify their email or phone and more challengers are being added as we speak. This ensures they are not a bot and allow mods to track the users post and ban them if they break the rules.

Mods can choose whether to use mintpass or create their own way of dealing with antispam. The possibilities for dealing with antispam are endless. Seedit doesn't have instances but works on a per subreddit basis so one spammer blocked on one subreddit won't be blocked on another. However communties can stop this by sharing blocklists. Open source means everything is completely up to the communities and moderators.

when running a community, the owner has to configure some anti spam options, like for example it could be a whitelist of him and his friends. if he wants an open community, it gets more complicated, you have to let unknown people post, but also not let unknown people spam, so one of the option is SMS confirmation. eventually we will add more options like social login, confirming ownership of a domain name you own, owning cryptocurrency, etc. it's a work in progress, but this anti spam mechanism is completely optional and arbitrary, it's something that each community owner can configure in any way they want. you can even code your own anti spam mechanism or use one someone else coded.
