let the games begin
Announcing Bitsocial, an open-source P2P protocol for social apps. Communities are private property and set their own rules and mods. No global admins.
@5chanapp, an imageboard built on it, now lets anyone upload an image and post from a browser. No node to install: 5chan.app
5chan's goal is to replace 4chan. Same experience, same nostalgia, but global admins are out of the equation.
5chan can go further than 4chan ever could. On 4chan, everyone has to comply with rules arbitrarily decided by global admins. On 5chan, if you disagree with a board's moderation, you create your own competing board and run it however you see fit (desktop app today, web soon). Boards compete with each other, and competition is key.
Anyone can build a social app on Bitsocial, and every app shares the same network of communities and users. Imageboards come first because they're the simplest social media to decentralize: anonymous posts, no accounts, threads that expire. Get one niche working, then expand. Next is Reddit, with @getseedit.

v0.10.0 is out.
You can now attach images straight from the post form on 5chan.app.
You can still paste direct links, or turn uploads off in settings

Big day, years in the making.
Announcing 5chan.app v0.10.0 with media uploads on web. 5chan is finally starting to feel like 4chan.
Next up is board creation on web, coming soon.

We're building 5chan, a peer-to-peer imageboard where people can run their own boards.
The app is getting faster and easier to use. Image uploads and board creation from the browser are coming next.
Follow along or give it a try: 5chan.app
New release: 5chan.app got way faster, with better /search/, bump sort and new /oc/ board as requested. Image upload isn't available yet (on web), but i'm working on it. It's going to be powered by bitsocialforge.com/#forge-im… ethereum:0xb50cea4c109dc223a10d44c14f521caed91dab5a
