Plebbit (soon to rebranded to PKC/Bitsocial) solves this by peers exchanges challenges and answers with community owner directly via pubsub.
Happy to be corrected though

You can either host your own gateway (but increases your costs and maintenance) or delegate it to somebody else, but then the person running the gateway can just lie and say peer <y> did solve all challenges correctly.

My biggest problem with it is not having arbitary challenges builtin, my understanding if you're community owner <x> and want to ask peer <y> to solve an anti spam challenge, you have to deploy an HTTP "gateway" that author needs to communicate with first, acquire the writing token.

@hexmani.ac also mintpass will add other ways to authenticate in the future by paying crypto to get your NFT

this is mintpass, one of the challenges you can set for your subplebbit (community) github.com/plebbitlabs/...
A community can set up any kind of arbitary challenge, since it's just an API with `getChallenge` and `verifyChallengeAnswer`. You can have a whitelist, question-answer based challenge

there's also a blog client made by @tomplebeius.bsky.social but it needs to be updated

yeah made by @tomplebeius.bsky.social all clients are interoperable with each other since the protocol is the same

yeah content is not great atm because not many people are running communities. We're looking to market within a few months once bugs are fixed and usability is pretty good

we're still hashing out a lot of bugs, not at MVP stage yet. Not many people running communities too so the content is stale

the p2p in browser is WIP but eventually browser peers will gossip to peers in network without any intermediaries + can also do bitswap. Although they can't provide content to other peers, only desktop nodes can do that

you can also go to seedit.app but that would load content from ipfs gateway (we still validate Cidv0(loadedContent) = requestedCidV0) and you publish pubsub messages to pubsub providers which gossip it to the network.
That's all temporary, in the next few months we're gonna have p2p in browser too

I didn't make that landing page lol somebody from the community did. Maybe they vibe coded it or something.
But that landing page doesn't use the protocol at all, you wanna go to github.com/plebbit/seedit and download the desktop app which embeds an ipfs node for pure p2p experience

Federation based designs aren't ideal because instance admins can delete user accounts and communities. Instance admins can block other instances. It's too difficult to run your own instance, you need to buy a domain name, server, DDOS protection, set up SSL, etc.

Agreed DHT is terrible. We rolled out plebbit nodes with it at the beginning but then had to switch to using http routers that's basically keyv of cidv0 to peers, same as bittorrent trackers.
IPFS shipyard just published 0.39 with a lot of optimization for DHT providing logic, we may try DHT again

are you referring to corrupted bits or cryptography here?
when we say trustless for plebbit we're referring to not needing to verify your instance or federation because all content is addressable + signed, same way bittorrent is trustless because you verify content => hash and drop peers who lie

can't imagine streaming with ipfs, the latency would go off the charts. Weren't there projects that did streaming on top of bittorrent? Not sure if they went anywhere
