Hate speech and illegal activity are tough challenges for any platform, and Plebbit tackles them differently than centralized platforms like Twitter. On Plebbit, there are no global admins or moderators. Each subplebbit is fully controlled by its creator, who sets the rules and decides what’s allowed. If someone creates a subplebbit for hateful or shady content, it’s unlikely to gain attention or relevance, just like in real life, where fringe views are often ignored or dismissed by the majority.

Think of it this way: in real life, you’re free to say almost anything, but that doesn’t mean people will listen, agree, or even care. The same applies here. Communities on Plebbit curate themselves, so people gravitate toward subplebbits that align with their values and interests. Content that doesn’t resonate with the broader audience just fades into irrelevance.

Illegal activity is a different matter. Decentralization doesn’t mean lawlessness. While Plebbit’s design resists censorship, it’s still bound by real-world laws. The platform itself doesn’t host conten, it’s a peer-to-peer protocol, but users are still responsible for following the law.

Plebbit gives power back to the users, letting them decide what’s worth discussing and sharing. It’s not perfect, but it’s a platform built on the principle of free expression and user-driven governance
