HuggingSocial is a peer-to-peer place to find, discuss and download open AI models and datasets. It is a model hub that no company owns: the list of models, the model cards, the comments and the votes all live on a peer-to-peer network, and the model files themselves are fetched over BitTorrent (or plain HTTP mirrors), verified on your machine with checksums.
How do you in a completely decentralized system? If everyone hosts their own then there is no moderation
You moderate whatever you host. Even if you have your own instance, your web host, DNS host, or ISP can still cut you off.
But that’s my point, this isn’t like the fediverse, this is true peer to peer, which means one person hosts everyone would theoretically see it, which means everyone would have to see the inevitable horrific shit and prune it themselves.
