5chan is a serverless, adminless, decentralized 4chan alternative where anyone can create and own unlimited boards. All data comes from the Bitsocial
protocol, it's all text including links from which media is embedded, shared peer-to-peer. Users do not need to register an account before participating

The reason why uploading media directly to boards is not possible, is because 5chan is a client for the Plebbit protocol, which is text-only (including
links, from which media is embedded by clients). However, Plebbit uses IPFS, so in theory it could let users upload media to the subplebbit (board)
owner's IPFS node, and then post the direct IPFS link for the media. This is not enabled because loading media from IPFS is extremely slow at the moment
(because most people have slow internet).
