How Seedit handles moderation and anti-spam in a privacy-first Peer-to-peer protocol

https://github.com/plebbit/seedit

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.
